The Social Line Dance had its group annual dinner on August 22, 2023 at the Grand Crystal Restaurant in Burnaby.

The turnout was high.  There were 60 participants out of 84 members.  Everybody had a wonderful time mingling and chitchatting.  The eight-course dinner plus dessert meal was fabulous and all members enjoyed the opportunity to dance after the dinner.

We all look forward to the next one in 2024.

Social Line Dance Dinner Aug 2023

 

A delightful awards luncheon was hosted  by this group at the Kirin restaurant at the end of August to celebrate a very successful year by the Snooker Group.  Awards were given to tournament winners, including best improved, best all-around sportsman, and winners of the coveted cup.  Dignitaries from the lower mainland and the President of the Society as well as the board liaison were in attendance, and the ever-present camaraderie of the group was evident to all lucky enough to be there to share in the festivities.

Who do we call on when we have an event or celebration?

Our CORE VOLUNTEER GROUP, made up of members of the Badminton Group are always on hand and willing to make any event a success with their expertise in preparing the most important part of the event - the food.  The ANNUAL VOLUNTEER LUNCHEON, The ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, the GROUP LEADERS MEETING - the list is endless.  We, the Board of Directors salute this group of women, spear-headed by Caroline and Dora. We thank them for always smiling, and tackling each project with enthusiasm.

WHAT A TREAT!

On Friday, August 4, 2023 the B.E.A.R.S. (Bonsor's Elderly Activities and Recreation Society) hosted a luncheon, and those invited to attend were indeed delighted both by the wonderful food,the enthusiasm, and camaraderies observed.

Approximately 12 members attended, and were already discussing their annual December sale at the Bonsor Recreation Center, and exhibiting some of their great needlework and knitting for this event.  Traditionally they send this money to the Board with a list of the charities they wish to donate to. So good to see what a great effort to contribute to the community by one of our groups.  Well done!
