Shore Things Gathering This Saturday

It appears we have a good gathering for this Saturday at Arlene’s staring at 6. Helen will have the calendars for those who ordered and have not yet received theirs this week. Let us celebrate our friendship, and perhaps drown our sorrows a bit too.

Birthday, Birthday!

Libby celebrates her special day this coming Tuesday, so all the best say all of us!

Spec-tacular!

Inspired by a need to purge, I looked into eyeglass donations and it turns out the optical shop at Loblaw’s accepts used glasses. It is one of the official depots for the Canadian Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centre which provides recycled eyewear free of charge to people in developing countries. I will bring my collection this Saturday morning, so maybe a photo op if a few of us do the same? They open at 9:30 and I confirmed they currently accept donations there.

Weekly Walks

This Saturday morning’s forecast is sunny but nearing the freezing mark, so bundle up. Don’t forget your poppies!

Perhaps we can all confer ahead of the walk and decide beforehand where we will meet for coffee to avoid people seeking everyone else out at the end? Should head back at Tim’s as the acoustics are more conversation friendly and there is plenty of flexible seating for a group? Please discuss…

Next Offsite Walk

There has been a request for an offsite walk starting from the Brickworks. No date is set, but tentatively late November is possible. By consensus, we will trial shifting those offsite walks to Sundays. The pace will be more leisurely, and it would not replace the Saturday walks. So you could do one or the other or both. Sunday also benefits from less traffic so we could more quickly and easily travel further afield if we wished and have more options for destinations. We’ll see how that works…
