  2. Fun activity
    • Robert and Ann led the club members into a game of “putting on a mummy face”.   But the trick was that all participants must be blind-folded.  As you could tell from the photographs below, every one had fun trying to “stick it” to the mummy (and some even cheated by giving/receiving help).

  3. Food and money charity donation
    • As a way of giving back to the local community, the organizing committee decided to hold a food drive collection for a charity called  The Teresa Group.   It is one of Canada’s oldest community based charitable organizations specifically serving children affected by HIV and AIDS and their family.  
    • The collection was a resounding success as club members responded enthusiastically with donations of canned and dried food just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.
    • In addition, the club executives also decided to donate money collected from the auctions in our May meeting to the same organization.   In total, $373.10 was sent to the Teresa Group.
