ALCOHOL COLLECTION FOR TASTE OF INDIA FUNDRAISER
We’re starting early this year with our alcohol collection for the annual Taste of India fundraising event! Last year’s event was a huge success, thanks to the incredible support from our members, and we’re aiming to make this year even better.
Our goal is to collect 100 bottles of wine and other alcohol. Please bring your donations to our lunch meetings and give them to Jane Tench, who is collecting on behalf of the club. If you’d prefer, cash donations are also welcome, and we’ll use them to purchase bottles for the fundraiser.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping us kick off the preparations for another amazing Taste of India event!
SUPPORT TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS AT KALAMOIR REGIONAL PARK
The Gellatly Bay Trails and Parks Society, of which our member Bruce is a dedicated part, is advocating for important improvements to the trails at Kalamoir Regional Park. These upgrades will ensure the trails remain safe, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone in our community, while preserving the park’s natural beauty.
The Society has launched a petition to demonstrate public support for these enhancements, and they need our help! By signing the petition, you’ll be lending your voice to this important initiative that benefits both locals and visitors.
Let’s rally behind Bruce and the Gellatly Bay Trails and Parks Society to ensure Kalamoir Regional Park remains a treasure for generations to come. Every signature counts!
