A Thank You Note for Bonsor 55+ Bus Trips

Hi, Monica!
Good morning!
We have had very busy days since the last trip - doctors' appointments, dentists, ultrasound test, air conditioner,....now all of that is completed one by one . I cannot wait any longer to say thank you to you. Not only do I want to say thank you, but I want to tell you the meaning of these senior bus trips to us. For us, this recent trip means rebuilding of confidence.
We two had accidents not long before the trip. My husband fell down in front of the entrance, and I fell down while playing table tennis. We were all OK and got back to normal daily life quickly. But we were still scared a little bit and doubted ourselves. Fortunately, we did well during the trip and went back home safely. We love the beauty of Canada and earn energy by visiting wonderful places and nice people. The trip for us is an enjoyment, and there is some kind of ability training as well.
I asked my husband again this morning, "Are we going to join the next seniors bus trip?" "Yes!" - he answered firmly without any hesitation.
We want to let you know, and please tell Britt and the Driver too; your volunteering work helps seniors a lot, and you all are great and priceless!
Hope you enjoy the bright summer, and meet us again in autumn ! ????????
Yours,
Snooker Group Hosted Another Great Event
Once again, the Bonsor 55+ Snooker Group hosted a tournament with the West Vancouver Community Center Snooker Group for the coveted Mary Horton cup.
As always, the atmosphere was very genial, and greatly enjoyed by both groups. The Tournament was very tightly run, with a marvellous luncheon hosted by our group.
To carry on the great camaraderie, a wonderful luncheon with lots of goodies was enjoyed by both teams, and anyone who happened to be in the vicinity. Well done, Bonsor Snooker!



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.


St. Patrick’s Day Dinner & Dance
Our first dinner-dance was held on March 15, 2024 and it proved to be a great success!
Some of the comments received:
- The music was great and we would love to have this band again
- The dinner was delicious, and it was a wonderful event
- What a great idea - will invite more friends to joint us next time
The Board is planning to hold another dinner-dance in November, and urge our members to gather a group of friends and participate. Well done, organizers and staff!
