March 24 Spring Workshop
The “Re-connecting With Life” workshop held on March 24th was well attended and the participants were treated to a very uplifting and rejuvenating presentation by social worker Maureen Pollard. It was truly an opportunity to re-connect with those who had not seen each other since the onset of the pandemic and to re-connect with personal aspirations.
Club Activities and Rentals
It is great to see so many people returning to club activities, and community groups and individuals renting the club for their special events once again. Also, great to see new people coming out to club activities and enjoying the camaraderie of others. Much work has been done to improve the air quality in the club through the installation of a high-quality air filtration system providing a safer and more comfortable environment for all.
