What do you get when you combine 40+ retirees and a lounge designed to hold 24 people? You get a very crowded and noisy gathering – and yet everyone seemed to have a good time regardless.
This situation arose as a result of two factors that unfortunately came together at the same time. We enjoyed a record turnout for our last coffee event of 2017 and, as luck would have it, Homestead decided that it needed the first floor lounge at 1066 King West and bumped us next door, to a much smaller lounge.
It is a pity that there aren’t any photos to show the jam-packed gathering. Had anyone thought to take them, they would have shown cartons of Tim Horton’s coffee and trays of cookies prepared by Clare and Ruth. They might also have captured the three new members who joined us that day – Gary Bernfeld, Susan Cross, and Hugh McLaren.
While that was supposed to be the last social event of 2017, we were asked about having another lunch at the Cataraqui Golf Club in November and found a great deal of interest when we contacted members. November 16 is the date for the lunch. Association members have already received an email about this event and another will follow in early November.
