On Monday May 16, Mulberry PARC presented a donation to the Bonsor Health Alert program!

Our members are very grateful of the ongoing support we receive from Mulberry PARC.  Without their generous donation we would not be able to offer such a beneficial program to the seniors in our community!

Health Alert runs Mondays from 9 to 11am (except stat holidays & the month of August).

After 73 matches over 5 weeks the final 5 matches were held on Saturday May 21. Eva Lee our best lady player performed wonderfully to reach the final beating Richard Mckenzie an ex-champ. In the final however she lost to David Braganza who was much more experienced. During the lunch break we had a surprise Birthday celebration for our ‘Burnaby Citizen of the Year’ George Kawaguchi. We surprised him when he entered the room with a big Happy Birthday. We also had sandwiches.

After the tournament we had prizes/gifts given out to all the players as well as all those in attendance. We had 2 Snooker Cues, a 10 liter wine box, numerous Starbucks gifts and many many gift certificates ranging from $25 to $60. We even gave away 6 bottles of wine. The event went off very well.

A wind up celebration was held in the Snooker Room to commemorate the end of the season.  There were a bevy of luscious desserts, along with other refreshments.  Some of these cakes were made specically for members who stated their preference!  These festivities were very well attended, as are all celebrations by the Snooker Group.  Well done!

On Wednesday March 30 we held our annual volunteer luncheon; this year’s theme was Bonsor Air! We were once again proud to reward and recognize the hard work of the hundreds of volunteers who make our programs so successful for so many people over the age of 55.

This year we had wonderful songs from the past sung by The Agency Girls and a lively dance floor, plus, a delicious buffet lunch provided by Ricky’s Country Restaurant. To cap the event off, we were able to give away many wonderful door prizes donated by our generous sponsors from across the Lower Mainland. We would also like to thank all the staff who worked so hard to put together this event and to remind our current volunteers to make sure you are logging your hours, you need 35 logged hours for the year to qualify for the luncheon!
