Board of Directors - Annual Retreat
Ernie Kashima transported the Board on our bus to Queen Elizabeth Park for lunch and a tour of the wonderful Bloedel Conservatory and on the Dairy Queen for an ice cream treat.
It was a great experience and gave us all a chance to exchange ideas and get to know each other better, especially with three new board members who brought some exciting new ideas for discussion.
Thanks to Ernie for great planning and making us all feel well rewarded for all our time and efforts on behalf of our members.
Bonsor Singin’ Seniors Choir Group Performance
Friday, May 17
1:45-2:30pm
Bonsor 55+ Lounge
Please join us in the lounge for the Bonsor Singin’ Seniors Choir group performance.
The Bonsor Choir Group is a fun singing group, with a varied repertoire covering centuries of songs. As we often perform in retirement homes, we also like to entertain with songs from the 60’s to the 80’s. The singers have appreciated interpreting songs in other languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, French or German. We sing in two-or three-parts and anyone can find a comfortable place for their voice.
We rehearse every Friday at Bonsor Recreation Complex main building, in the Arts Room from 1:00-3:00pm.
For more information please contact Bonsor 55+ at 604-297-4580.
