Wow! Here we are entering the last month of 2023! A top festivity is coming up soon along with related gatherings so it may be more challenging to get out but do let’s try for overall health, companionship and mitigation of the many extra calories we are about to consume.
How many Santas can you spot?
Birthdays
It’s Kathleen’s birthday this Saturday, yay! All the best!
Weekly Walks
Time to break out the long johns! Colder days are coming but this Saturday will have some sun and no precipitation. Loblaw’s at 8:00 and don’t be late!
The Cavalcade of Lights at Nathan Philips Square is on for the next month and a bit, albeit strangely devoid of horses (look it up!). Some of us are hoping to hoof down for a weekday evening walk to be dazzled. Details will be announced shortly so please check in the comments and on WhatsApp for more news.
Happy BDs to Libby and Ruth this coming week (Sunday and Thursday respectively)! Let’s send them our best wishes.
Potluck Final Update
It’s this Saturday! Helen will have sent out an email to everyone with the details. If you haven’t received it, please check your spam folder in case your email app filtered it out. If still nothing, get in touch and we’ll try another way. Here is a summary of the event minus some specifics that I don’t want to have on a public website.
Hi, again, Shore Things,
Our get-together on Saturday is almost here! Please join us, and spread the word to Shore Things you might not have seen in a while. It’s a time to reconnect.
Those who ordered calendars will be able to pick them up there, too.
Here are some reminders and/or details:
Party:
Trish could use helpers to come a bit earlier for set up OR stay to tidy up afterwards.
Finger food, SVP. And BYO beverages. Please also bring your own glasses and tableware, to be garbage-free.
Location:
Party Room at Trish’ (address in the email and WhatsApp)
We usually find street parking one street west of the condo. Sometimes, access to the party room is easiest on foot via the rear entrance – through the archway off Eglinton.
Emergency contact/Trish: see email/WhatsApp (mobile)
Please RSVP to Trish and copy Helen – thanks to everyone who already confirmed
Time: 6 pm till whenever
Bring ideas for next year – walks, trips, whatever you think would be fun to do together.
Calendars: If you ordered one, please bring $20 in cash, please and thanks – to save bank fees. (We had a bit of a discount this year, because we had some leftover bulk-purchase funds. Expect the $25 cost to return next year.)
See you on Saturday!
Weekly Walks
Saturday looks cool but dry, so let’s all gather at the Loblaw’s for a pre-party 8-10 km perhaps for the ambitious, or whatever suits you!
