“People ask me what I’d most appreciate getting for my eighty-seventh birthday. I tell them, a paternity suit.” – George Burns
Monthly Lunches: December’s lunch was a glorious time: a full turkey dinner from Leroy’s Catering with entertainment by Mount Pleasant resident Serge Soucy. We also collected $1,940 donations for the Calgary Food Bank at this lunch. This year Paramount 24 Hr Animal Hospital generously provided two lovely gift baskets and a variety of other prizes for our annual December gift draw.
Day Trips: Pulse submissions are made over a month in advance of issue; it’s still December and we’re looking forward to a trip to Stage West for a matinée performance of Sister Act on January 21. We have two more Stage West outings planned (New Sound in Town on April 29 and an evening performance of Beehive on August 5). Some of these are already sold out but you can join the wait list. An overnight trip to Lethbridge is in the works. We plan on visiting the Alberta Birds of Prey Foundation in Coaldale, Fort Whoop Up in Lethbridge, the Empress Theatre in Fort Macleod, and Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump. We’ll be a tired but happy crew when we arrive back in Calgary.
