Monthly Lunches: We had a good variety of books to choose from at our April lunch. Many thanks to everyone who brought books to share and hearty thanks to everyone who took a few home with them. The few leftover books were donated to the MCC Thrift Store. In addition, we enjoyed a tasty chili and Caesar salad lunch catered by Leroy, a favourite of our group. The May lunch will feature our annual plant exchange.
Day Trips: At time of writing, we’re looking forward to our overnight trip to Waterton National Park and the Frank Slide Interpretative Centre on May 29 to 30. This trip sold out quickly, but we have others planned:
July 16, an evening Stage West performance of Legends of the ‘80s, to relive our youth (or maybe slightly older) with the music of Elton John, Billy Joel, Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Lionel Richie. All this and a delicious buffet dinner for only $60 per person.
August 19, a trip to Sundre to experience an Indigenous Medicine Walk and spend a bit of time exploring the town ($75) or just spend the whole day exploring Sundre and its museum and World of Wildlife, shops, and restaurants ($30).
November 13, a matinée Rosebud Theatre performance of Miracle on 34th Street, including a buffet lunch ($75).
We’re still trying to connect with a Hutterite Colony for tours and fresh vegetables but do have a trip to the Lake Louise Ice Sculpture and Banff Snow Sculptures in late January in our plans. Day trips sell out quickly, often before the Pulse is delivered. If you’d like to receive email notification of upcoming trips or have ideas for where to go next, contact Linda at [email protected] or 403-289-8390. People of all ages are welcome to join us.
