Society Notes:

Our society flower is the daffodil which we continue to plant in the town gardens. Gatherings that feature a speaker or workshop are held the third Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm at “Brookside Retirement Living” on Confederation Line. Included each month is a short report on ongoing projects. Work bees are held Thursday evenings in May & June & sporadically in other months.
