Hi Folks


  We had a great time at the end of summer soiree put on by the Julian's . Awesome time with good company. Our next meeting is at Wild Wings 1319 Commissioners Road East at 7pm on October 10.


  One of our Founders James Fiorillo has asked us to post a fun Buffett style event put on by the Spirit of the Keys on October 12 at Friday Knight Lights.I'll try to get this posted on our Webpage with all the details looks like a fun time:)


  Looking forward to seeing you all on the 10th.

                         Cheers

Hi Pholks


    Thanks again for all the hard work for the Scott Kirby party on July 14th. We have received nothing but positive reviews.

     I need to float a couple of ideas for the club . The Julien family had kindly offered their house to hold an end of summer gathering. A date needs to be firmed up so that the majority of us can attend.

     The month is September the dates so far seem to be on the 13th or 20th or 27th weekend . Please let Steve know a date or dates that work for you at  steve.julian@rogers.com . We can use this as our Cub Meeting for September.

    The second item for input was the idea of going to Wild Wing near the Rona off of Highbury for our Club Meeting in October. Let me know what you think.


   Cheers

  Hi Pholks


       We are getting very excited about the Scott Kirby CD Release Party & Charity Fund Raiser  happening on Sunday July 14th. Proceeds from this great event will go to support the Heart and Stroke Foundation. On Wednesday July 10 there is a group meeting at Joe Kools for anyone who can help at the event. This event has been a club focus for the past few months with members raising funds at BBQ's and house parties , tough work but someone had to do it:). I would also like to thank Lori, Mike, Denise, Gregg, Doreen and Steve for creating a new banner, organizing venues, putting up posters, advertising on FB ,doing radio spots and keeping our spirits up. Our club has really worked together to get this done I look forward to seeing all club members past and present at Jim Bob Rays on July 14th for the biggest event our club has ever hosted.

It is at 550 Hale Street in London . Boat Drinks will be available. Please bring beverages of your choice , a chair, an item to auction and a snack or salad to share. Cheeseburgers with all the fixins will be provided for a $5 donation, we'll have a $1or $2 raffle table and we'll auction off items. All money raised will go to Charity.
    The big news continues to be the the July 14th Scott Kirby CD release party at Jim Bob Rays in London. Thank you to Denise,Steve and Gregg for all their leg work to get this party going.

A true team effort will be needed, I thnak you all in advance.

  Denise Love Yes please let me know who can come to this great event as soon as possible. It is 9:30-2 on Sat April 13 and lets you try lots of cool fitness activities like zumba or yoga or martial arts. Your presence is more important than any donation you can give as the sponsor will be there ready to give the charity a $3000 cheque if we can get people participating in these heart healthy activities. Plus you get a chance to win prizes like bbq's, watches, bowling nights out and much more.

Greetings Pholks

Hi Pholks


  Our last meeting was entertaining with good conversation and a variety of foods. Mike Powell has kindly organized our new banner, the preview looks great !  We also discussed our next community event which will be preparing a meal for Ronald McDonald House on March 30 . I think we are going to cook burgers and salad with soft drinks on the side and dessert to be decided.
   The third Wednesday of the month seems to work for us so our next meeting will be on February 20. We will gather at Braxton's in St. Thomas at 7 pm and check out their Wednesday specials. Hope to see you there .

            Cheers,
