PAST LUNCH BUNCH EVENTS
FEBRUARY 2020: Exercising with Frankie
FUN AT OUR NEW FACILITY
January 2020 found the Lunch Bunch program starting the new year off in our new location. While we loved being at the church house and the hospitality there was fantastic, our ever increasing numbers showed the need for more room!!! So we moved to the newly renovated Firefighters Association Hall (previously known at the "old schoolhouse". Our first luncheon was a hit and everyone seemed to enjoy it very much. Ed Hunter who was a teacher at the schoolhouse in the 1960s is a member of our lunch bunch and we are happy to have him and his stories of the school. If you are planning to come out and join us and see the facility please contact Sue Duncan at 250-539-3640 and she can order your lunch and show you around.

NOVEMBER 2019: The Christmas season got underway with Sue and clients baking Christmas cakes!! Sue is renowned for making her mother's Christmas cake recipe and everyone from last year were happy she was repeating in again! Perhaps if you give Sue one of her huge hugs you might get at least a slice. It is nothing like the Christmas cake that goes round the world every year (ha ha, wink, wink).
And in keeping with the cold, the second Thursday in November was a delight as Dave and Rena Chase gave a most interesting and informative presentation on their trip to Iceland. A great group was in attendance and I am sure many who watched and learned are thinking of a trip to Iceland in their future.
