50/50 Draw – Our pot of $328.00 is still growing as Wayne picked the king of clubs in pursuit of the Queen of Spades.
Happy Toonies:
Pat B was a polar bear on Jan 1st as she dipped in the water at Dorchester, a gorgeous setting and a fabulous experience; she has a goal of 25 consecutive annual dips……Pat also encouraged the club members to watch the movie Mandela for an educational and inspiring evening…..regardless of the vagaries of air travel, Dianne persisted and went to Toronto last Saturday where she enjoyed the fantastic play Come From Away and then attended the New Year’s Eve wedding of her nephew…..Sue F is affectionately amused watching David’s toddler grandson initiate (and terminate!) facetime calls with his granddad.
