<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's 2015 and already we are well into February! A new year with new possibilities!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thank you for reading this first post in a year in which some changes to the activities of the Canadian Club are to take place:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<ol>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We will no longer meet at the Justice Institute, as we have done for so many years.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Initially, we will have monthly lunches on different days in different restaurants. This is a new approach and we will see how it goes and how members and guests feel about this activity.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We want to keep costs affordable and reasonable to allow members and guests the opportunities to meet, and network if they so wish. As well, the annual membership remains unchanged at $25.00 per person.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We encourage people to join us especially those who uphold the Club mandate, which is to foster throughout Canada an interest in all matters of public concern, to protect our
heritage and history, to encourage our unity and identity, and endeavour to increase our knowledge
of other areas of our country and other countries that affect our lives. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Eventually we hope to resume the established practice of introducing you to guest speakers who are active in various fields of work and thought. These men and women are from various walks of life and professions including business, politics, science, and the arts.</span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">A new year has brought about some changes to the Canadian Club of New Westminster and the Fraser Valley, most notably that we have a new President, Rick Page. We are thrilled to have Rick on board and look forward to the ideas and suggestions that he and his Directors will present to the Club. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">We also thank most sincerely our Immediate Past President, Nick Cheng, who was a Director and Vice-President before becoming President, a post he held for four years. Thank you so much Nick for all your hard work and dedication and we look forward to working with you during the coming year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="color: blue;">Members and Guests are invited to our first luncheon of 201</span><span style="color: blue;">5</span>, which will take place on Wednesday, February 18 at <span style="font-family: Arial;">
</span><a href="http://www.laspaghetteria.ca/"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Salvatore's La Spaghetteria</span></a> in New Westminster. Luncheon is $10 per person and will be served at 12 noon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Thank you for reading and we look forward to seeing you at the Luncheon!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">The summer break is over and here we are in Fall! Hope you had a wonderful summer in which we had lots of gorgeous weather!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our monthly dinners are here again and September 23rd has crept up on us so suddenly! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">We are very pleased to welcome as our guest this evening <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.royalcityrecord.com/community/rotarian-honoured-for-work-in-africa-1.555639" target="_blank">Michael Crean</a></span>. Michael wears many hats and most notably one of being a philanthropist - we look forward to hearing of his arranging for healthcare professionals to visit Africa helping the poor and needy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">Please do try to attend the first dinner of the Fall season on Tuesday, September 23rd. Just a reminder that we are again collecting non-perishable items for the <span style="color: blue;"><strong>October Thanksgiving donations to the Food Bank.</strong></span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are pleased to welcome <span style="color: blue;">Sheryl Williamson</span>, the Past President of the Vancouver Police Board, as our guest this evening. No doubt this will be a very interesting and memorable occasion and we thank Ms. Williamson for spending time with us!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">There were some changes in the March and April dinner meetings. Our expected guest in March, Brad Alden, had an accident shortly before the dinner date. We hope he is improving and able to join us later in the year. In his stead we were very fortunate to receive <span style="color: red;">Betty McIntosh, Councillor</span>, as the guest speaker and thank her for her excellent presentation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Our thanks also go to <span style="color: magenta;">Nick Cheng, President</span>, who was our guest speaker at the April meeting where we witnessed a very professional and informative presentation from Nick, who is a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones right here in New Westminster! Thank you again Nick for this presentation; you work hard for the Canadian Club and it was a pleasure to be with you in your professional capacity in April. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Our next dinner meeting will be held September 23, 2014 while we break for the summer months. However, we will hold our annual Summer Luncheon in June and details will be announced in the coming weeks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

While sipping on orange juice, another excellent meal was awaiting us and we enjoyed California Mixed Green Salad followed by an entrée of Prunes and Cranberry Stuffed Pork Loin with creamy potatoes and mixed vegetables. Our dessert was a light carrot cake with vanilla butter cream and walnuts, and we completed the meal with tea or coffee.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">At the head table our Guest Speaker was Allan De Genova, President of Honour House Society and he was introduced by Tim Armstrong, Fire Chief, New Westminster. Present also were Lee Reynolds, Vic Leach, Councillor Lorrie Williams, and Calvin Donnelly who thanked Allan for his presentation. Honourary Member Councillor Betty McIntosh and her husband Ken also joined us for the evening and we thank you all for attending.</span></div></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Following dinner we assembled in the Theatre where Allan began his presentation with a DVD explaining Honour House and the many businesses and organizations giving voluntarily of their help. An enjoyable start to the presentation was Sarah McLachlan singing “Love Come” in praise of Honour House.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqj3aF7eHE7C-GQgvRqBGckx1BbUT9zY8WG2pWiq635k_QThG82YVNlnJYPE4I3d0RVjxIqRXacUQKk5WJlBcOlkP0hmk8M9Vm7eZLl5XAcJt_N8iH9AK8Lsf1tBawigjGtLhug/s1600/Honour+House+logo.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqj3aF7eHE7C-GQgvRqBGckx1BbUT9zY8WG2pWiq635k_QThG82YVNlnJYPE4I3d0RVjxIqRXacUQKk5WJlBcOlkP0hmk8M9Vm7eZLl5XAcJt_N8iH9AK8Lsf1tBawigjGtLhug/s200/Honour+House+logo.gif" t8="true" width="189px" /></a></div></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I visited Honour House to see its current state and met Vic Wylie, Site Superintendent with Scott Construction Group who was very helpful in explaining the status and future plans for this wonderful concept. Vic advised that the house is about 100 years old and will be a fully disabled accessible facility. Honour House will offer ten bedrooms each with its own bathroom, a 4-storey elevator, a communal kitchen and dining area, plus a media center, library and quiet room. A children’s play area is planned for the property. They are working to have Honour House ready by the end of June 2011, and we look forward to seeing the hopes and dreams of this beautiful facility materialize in the coming months. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For your convenience, on the right of this page I have included links to the Honour House web site. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In concluding the meeting, Nick our President reminded the Directors of our next meeting, which will be held in the Auditorium of the New Westminster Library on Thursday evening, June 23rd at 7 p.m. Calvin again led us in the singing of God Save the Queen.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Another reminder that the June Luncheon will be held at La Rustica Restaurant on 6th Street on Tuesday, June 14 at 11:30 a.m., and we hope that you can attend.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Thanks again and with best wishes,</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37851008.post-36091790373343971932011-05-01T19:08:00.000-07:002011-05-01T19:13:02.243-07:00Dinner, Tuesday, April 26, 2011<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Members and guests alike joined us for dinner this evening and we thank you for attending.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Easy seeing that summer is on the way! We began with a healthy green salad and raspberry vinaigrette dressing, followed by chicken stuffed with cheese and spinach and smothered with a cream sauce of Dijon mustard and basil, accompanied by mixed vegetables. Dessert followed – a delightful maple cake with vanilla cream icing and caramel sauce; a wonderful start to the evening!</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our head table guests were Dr. John Blatherwick and his wife Dr. Carol Blatherwick, Councillor Bill Harper, and Dr. Irwin Stewart. Among other guests were Councillor Betty McIntosh and her husband Ken and we welcomed a returning guest, Linda. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Following dinner, we adjourned to the Theatre where Councillor Bill Harper introduced Dr. Blatherwick before we viewed Dr. Blatherwick’s informative PowerPoint presentation on service medals. Interspersed were humorous anecdotes and puns, which added levity to the occasion!</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Dr. Blatherwick has extensively researched service medals and we wonder how he found time to do this, as he is such busy man, having an outstanding career in health care, which had to be so time-consuming. His presentation was colourful, well thought out and very professional, and we thank him for advising us on the variety of medals that have been awarded to Canadians through the decades, certainly since 1967 when the Order of Canada was created. Dr. Irwin Stewart thanked him for his presentation, as did all members.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A note to the Directors that the next meeting will be Thursday, May 19 at 7 p.m. at Earl’s home.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Please join us for the last dinner meeting before we break for the summer recess, on Tuesday, May 24, when Allan De Genova will speak to us on Honour House, in New Westminster – now that will surely be a meeting we will want to attend!</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thanks again for visiting and look forward to seeing you during May!</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Best wishes,</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37851008.post-74249172804024550632011-04-01T15:27:00.000-07:002011-04-01T15:42:14.014-07:00Dinner, Tuesday, March 29, 2011<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A wonderful turnout this evening with many members and guests and we thank you all for attending! Thank you too for your contributions to the First Presbyterian Church Food Bank for their Easter hampers. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our meal began with a “stew soup”, which was a thick vegetable soup full of good things! This was followed by delicious salmon accompanied by steamed rice and stir-fry vegetables. Our dessert was carrot cake with cream butter icing – just a mouth-watering meal with juice, tea and coffee for beverages.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Nick introduced the head table, which included <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;">Wendy J. Scott, RN</span>,</span> as guest speaker. Other guests included Councillor Betty McIntosh and her husband Ken. Councillor Bill Harper was also in attendance, as were Paul Forseth, Peter Julian, MP and Diana Dilworth. Mike Redmond introduced his wife Laura and her mother, Alma, and Maureen introduced Linda, Denise, Louise and Gilles, who also attended as guests this evening. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Earl had a few notes including mention of the recipient of the Douglas College award, Lisa Neilson, who was unable to attend the dinner. The Will Rogers Follies will fill the stage of the Massey Theatre in April, and if we are in groups of ten or more, we will be entitled to ticket discounts.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Following dinner, we adjourned to the theatre where Maureen introduced the guest speaker. Wendy J Scott has a background in Nursing and operates the franchise <a href="http://www.nursenextdoor.com/index.php"><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">Nurse Next Door Home Healthcare Services</span></a>. Wendy was so eloquent and showed a beautifully prepared PowerPoint presentation outlining her work and business. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A brochure describes <span style="background-color: white; color: black;">Nurse Next Door Home Healthcare Services</span> as “specializing in exceptional care for remarkable people encountering changes in their lives.” Wendy advised that the average life span for Canadians is 80 years for women and 75 for men, so with people living longer there is a definite need for Nurse Next Door services. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Betty McIntosh thanked Wendy for her presentation and noted that they both graduated about the same time; Betty from Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster and Wendy from St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. What a wonderful reunion for these two professional registered nurses!</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Nick thanked everyone for attending and reminded the Directors that the next meeting is on Wednesday, April 13, in the Plaskett Room of the New Westminster Library.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Calvin Donnelly who was unable to attend the dinner arrived later in the evening and led the singing of God Save the Queen. Thanks Calvin!</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, April 26, 2011, when the guest speaker will be <span style="color: blue;">Dr. John Blatherwick</span> – that will be an extremely interesting evening!</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thanks for viewing, and best wishes,</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37851008.post-33856259037287093082011-04-01T15:19:00.000-07:002011-04-01T15:19:03.138-07:00Wendy J.
