SHARON’S NEWS COLLECTIONS

Here are a number of short stories sent in by Sharon over the last couple of months

2020 03 14 WINNER OF BEER FRIDGE 2019 sent Jan 21

Lauren Albertson was a very happy girl when she discovered she had the lucky numbers for the raffle of a beer fridge at the Classic Rewind on December 14th.  The beer fridge was donated for a second year in a row by Canadian Tire and hopefully they will continue to make such valuable donations for our raffles.  During a discussion with Lauren the day she picked up the fridge I learned she regularly attends the karaoke at the branch and she has also participated with assistance for the Saturday meat draws. She did mention to me that she was the niece of Bob and Sharon Brady, our former zone commander, who passed away a couple of years ago.

(Right): A Mexican meal is just not complete without a sombrero as shown here by Harvey Goodwin as he attempts to impress his wife Marilyn.  Nice touch!!  The Mexican meal is only one theme the ladies auxiliary do in the course of their lunch preparations.
