Exhibit at the Art Gallery
July 19 was the Opening day of the exhibit and
everything looks very good.
Thanks on all the MRLC Members who are
participating and to the curator of the Gallery Filio
Scott for hosting the show.

Annual Picnic
What a day were had, a pig roasted to perfection,
thanks to our great cook Walt, a lot of superb pot
luck dishes, sunshine and a lot fun.
The little park beside the club house worked out to
be a great place for our annual barbecue. Enough
trees for shade and to sit under, grass to roll in
and the Allouette River
invited for a swim.  
And somehow the mosquito's and pestering bugs
had a day off
, nobody had to go home with a lot of
bits and bumps.
Thanks to Walt for being such a great cook
and
Nigel for supplying the electricity for the rotisserie,
which made the job a bit easier.

50th Anniversary Celebration
Since we celebrate this year our 50th anniversary,
our club house is in need of a major clean up and
some repairs are necessary.
Please help, there will be enough work for
everybody. Everything little time you can spare is
greatly appreciated.
Also help is needed for organising all
mandatory/necessary arrangements to make our
anniversary celebration a huge success.
Please contact Ken for more information.
