The club has been featured across the country appearing in the Toronto, Windsor, Saskatchewan and Edmonton newspapers. Locally we have had write-ups in the Abbotsford Times, Tri-city News, Vancouver Sun, Richmond News, Tri-cities Now, Georgia Straight, Kelowna and Victoria. I was also invited as a guest on Shaw Express, Channel 13 Breakfast Show. I attended a meeting of the Abbotsford/Mission/Aldergrove singles club and the Abbotsford Learning + giving presentations at both. If any of you have any contacts for further exposure for the club please let me know. The more members the more friends we can make and the more trips we can offer.

Volunteers are needed for a phoning committee and to welcome guests at our meeting. If you can spare one hour a month it would be greatly appreciated.

The yearly membership fees are due in January and will be $30.00 + hst $3.60 for a total of $33.60.

If anyone has a short article for the newsletter please let me know.

I look forward to seeing you at one of our next meetings.
