Seniors' Gathering - Friday, May 25
Our final Seniors’ gathering was a celebration of ten years of ministry to our St. Thomas seniors. The idea for this outreach was proposed by Phil and Marian Neatby. It was coordinated by them, Betty and Don Boone and Ken and Marian Gates for the first five years. The following five years were coordinated by Marg Milner with help from Sue Orgill and Heather McCormick.
John Perreault put together a slide show of pictures from our gatherings over the years which brought back fond memories of these events. Thanks to Phil, Marian and Marg for their dedication to this ministry.
