Please attend our meeting on Monday June 13, when our guest speaker will be Roberta Koscielny, the Communications Specialist with Transplant Manitoba – Gift of Life.
There is at least one family in Selkirk who has been waiting for a kidney donor, so this is an opportune time for us to hear about the way people can donate the Gift of Life.
MEAL, RSVP by Saturday
► ► Please RSVP to Jean by Saturday so that we can inform the Golf Club of the number of meals to prepare.
SPECIAL NOTE: Our meeting on June 27 will be Changeover meeting, but as there is minimal changeover, it will be an informal evening with spouses and members. Please plan to attend. At that time we will also have a final report on Lobster on the Run and other important issues going forward in the new term.
Our meeting was in-person at the Selkirk Golf and Country Club.
Program Guests: Sean Rayland-Boubar, owner and founder of Red Rebel Armour, along with employee Justin and daughter Aira. The story, vision and product set them apart from other companies
Through Sean’s vision, they are creating employment opportunities for those needing/looking to transform their lives after release from prison. There are several barriers faced when people are released. Building on existing skills, Indigenous made clothing is created through this social enterprise operation. There is cultural significance and stories in all products. They are doing this to reunite families and help their people. A very inspiring story. Visit their website Redrebelarmour.com

Thank you to everyone for the great job that you pulled off on the weekend! A well oiled machine, fine as clockwork and wonderful lobster to top it all off. Thanks so much.

Our children gave us 2 lobster dinners to celebrate our 60th anniversary and we want to thank all of you so much for such a wonderful meal. It was absolutely perfect from start to finish! Your crew had it timed perfectly. We came home, enjoyed a bottle of sparkling wine while it reheated and sautéed some fiddleheads freshly picked minutes before at Selkirk Park and asparagus from our garden to go with it all.

Great evening, excellent process for pick up and fun! A special thank you to the young artist who drew a “have a great evening” and decorated our bag. Compostable dessert bowls -so good to see. Coleslaw could have been bigger for us. Thanks!
