Celebration Time – THWTB
Close to one hundred retirees and friends celebrated their first (or another) year of retirement at Lanark’s
beautiful Timber Run Golf Course on Lanark County’s first day of school. The smiles on so many faces lit up
the room, and the laughter and chatter were almost deafening. As part of our annual tradition, a new retiree and a veteran retiree each rang a school bell to begin the festivities. This year, Louisa McMunn and Michael Hurren were our honourary Bell Ringers. Chatting with new and seasoned retirees, one quickly realizes that ‘retirement days’ are often just as full as our ‘working days’ were – just not rushed.
We were very happy to welcome the following retirees: Janice Page Featherstone, Tammy Kleiboer, Janet
Sheehan, Lesley Blanchard, Vicki Shea, Louisa McMunn, Theresa McDonald, Tania Mason, Tim Zander,
Jane Penfold and Deanne Strong.

Fall Social – It’s always wonderful to see so many of our members gathering together for one of our lunches which allows everyone to enjoy a nice meal and socialize with other retirees.  Once again, we’ll continue to provide these opportunities so please consider attending one of our lunches in 2024!

Christmas Social – Thirty six people attended our Christmas Gathering and due to the high numbers, we had to use the dining room instead of the atrium.  It’s always nice to have this type of problem, dealing with more people than expected.  One of our executive members, Grace lead a group of singers serenading us with Christmas songs as well!  A very nice way to get into the Christmas spirit!

Thanks to everyone who attended these social gatherings, as well as many thanks to members of our RTO District 29 Executive who helped in the planning and implementation of these activities!
