                      Spring Events
 
 Great turnout and a fantastic Day for dinner at Ronald McDonald House on March 30. Thank you to all who were able to help out. A special thanks to Doreen and Gregg for making sure we had everything we needed. I'm glad another group of people we able to take a House Tour it really brings home the important work RM house does.
  Hope to see some of you on April 13 for the Heart and Stroke fitness challenge contact Denise if you can make it.
 
                      Cheers

  • 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.

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,

  Welcome to the New Year ! Our first meeting of the year will be on Wednesday January 16 at Bernie's Bar & Grill 1290 Byron Baseline at 7pm. We are moving our meeting day to try to make them more accessible for our members. I'll need information from members and signatures if possible , for the club's annual report. If you can make it to the meeting that would be fantastic.

  Hi Pholks

 It's that time of year again already . The annual decorating of the London Foodbanks Christmas float. The parade has moved up 1 week this year so our float decoartion Saturday is on November 10th. I know, I had the 17th written down also,  I'll take any blame for problems. Hopefully Frakenstorm will be done by then and London will still be standing :). We also have a regular Foodbank volunteer day on Saturday December 15 .

   Thanks to the Folks who braved the chill weather to do our highway cleanup. We did a great job getting a dozen or so bags of trash off of our section of Highway .

 Our meeting this month will be in London , Gregg has offered to arrange our dinner at Smoke and Bones on Wellington . Should be good food and a fun atmosphere. The meeting will happen on Thursday November 8th at 7pm. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

                               Cheers

Hi Pholks

 After a great summer we capped it off with a fantastic house party at Gary & lori's. Fine food and great prizes with a few well mixed drinks set the tone for us to raise $ 500 to help support Animal aide and other local people who care for strays and unwanted pets. Cudos to all of you .

  Our next meeting is at Braxtons in St Thomas located at 1093 Talbot . We'll be discussing Fall events including our last highway cleanup on October 13th. We'll meet for the cleanup at the Denny's parking lot at the Highbury & 401 overpass at 9:45am , weather permitting. We 'll be cleaning the south east side from 10am to around 12pm. A trip to Majors for a cold Corona may be in order after our hard work.

 Looking forward to seeing a good turnout , see you there.
