At our meeting this evening we received updates on the arboretum, Groups of Five and Ribfest. We also heard from the social committee and received an invitation to an anniversary event at Gateway of Hope.
Our guest speaker was Zosia Ettenberg, Executive Director of Langley Pos-Abilities Society. Zosia told us about a pilot program she hopes to offer to have people’s wheelchairs serviced or repaired at low or no cost to the individuals. Experts would be hired to be available to look at the wheelchairs at a central location, and people who cannot afford the regular repair rates would be able to become mobile again. Zosia is seeking funding for this project.
Club President Wayne Wiebe was in a cheerful mood as he presented a cheque from Ribfest to Treasurer Anthony Ball, and another cheque from our club to Les Clay for the ABSL. For more photos please visit November 28, 2019.
