2019-01-24 – ICCC Seniors Group Meeting – Orleans

Dear Friends, Greetings! Last Meeting – Jan. 17, 2019: It was a small meeting with about 10 people – winter is taking its toll on our attendance. There was a general discussion about various subjects. Chandra entertained us with a series of one-liner questions, where most of us did poorly as we have stopped thinking as children do. Meeting – Jan. 24, 2019: There is a potluck lunch at this meeting. Our MPP, Ms. Marie France Lalonde was scheduled to join us for an informal session to meet our members. I have been advised that she is out of town on this Thursday and so won’t be able to come. Her assistant will bring an invitation for us to join her for a session on Round Table Discussion on Seniors, to be held at a later date. The details for this meeting are as follows: Location: Room 340, 255  Centrum Boulevard, Orleans Time: 1 PM Agenda: 1. Potluck Lunch and Socialization: 1 – 2:00 PM 2: Lunch Cleanup: 2:00 – 2:15 PM 3.

This is to ensure that we are not getting four rice dishes or as many desserts. RSVP: In order to assure that we have a balanced meal please indicate your wishes preferably by 5 PM on Wednesday. This will allow time for any adjustments in the menu that may be desirable. As always, if you decide at the last minute to come or bring any guest please feel free, there is always enough food to go around. Reducing Waste: Everybody is requested to bring and use their own reusable dishes and take these back home for cleaning. We do have a limited supply of dishes for the guests. Look forward to seeing you. Jagjit and Amrit
