President’s Message - September 2025
A message from Gord Kruger, Evergreen Club president
Greetings all!!..and "welcome back" after a pretty nice couple of months of summer weather. No denying it however, fall and whatever else is closing in so it's time to gently slide back into that after summer routine here at the Evergreen. The summer was a very busy time in the valley and I hope you all took some time to enjoy the activities that went on. The July long weekend "Tea Dance" put together by our Evergreen volunteers was once again a great success and we want to thank those that made it so. Big band sounds and tea seem to go together very well. Along with the tea dance the August long weekend in Comox was also a very good event. Here at the club itself we enjoyed a Christmas in July Turkey lunch, a great summer picnic at Kitty Coleman with our own Greg entertaining and an ice cream social. The Sunday evening concerts at Simms Park were once again a big hit and a great bunch of local talent was once again on display. All of the Sunday evening concerts were very well attended.
Now it's onward and forward. Many of our activity clubs that took the summer off will be back in full mode and a new and adventurous Special Events calendar will get into motion. It appears that it will be a busy time and we are starting it all off with a "Pub Night" on Friday September 5th, Entertainment will be provided by "ISLAND TIME" with Heather and Perry. The Friday Night Dances will continue at two dances per month with Double Play on Friday September 12 and The Amigos on Friday September 26. There will be a Harvest Lunch on Wednesday September 17th at 11:30. We are still recruiting new members and "New Member Welcomes" will be back on Tuesday September 23rd at 1pm. A couple of trips that might interest you are scheduled for September. A "Campbell River Explorer" on Friday September 19th and "A day in Coombs and Qualicum" on Thursday September 25th. Other activities are planned and you should check this newsletter for details. Thats’s about a wrap for now my friends....but once again WELCOME BACK and think about this quote from Albert Einstein....”It’s a good idea to avoid negative people as they have a problem for every solution”......ADIOS..gk
