HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

“The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written.” —Melody Beattie, author

 

MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE:  

Ladies,

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday and continue to enjoy the year ahead. We are only five months out from Reunion 16.

 

REUNION 16: 

Prince Edward Island Trivia:

Cavendish was established 1870 by Scottish immigrants and was the home of novelist Lucy Maud Montgomery (30 November 1874 – 24 April 1942) who wrote Anne of Green Gables. 2024 will be the 150 celebration of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s birthday. Anne of Green Gables was published in 1908. 

The location is the Holman Grand Hotel, 123 Grafton Street, Charlottetown, PE. The dates are May 28, 29, 30, 2024 (Tuesday - Thursday).   

LUNCHEONS: 

You don't have to be a member of the RCAF Airwomen's Reunion to attend a luncheon in your local area. If you are interested in meeting up with women you may have served with or whom served at the same time as you, get in touch with the facilitators to see what it's all about.

Some luncheons are monthly, year round. Some have their own annual schedules. 

Edmonton, AB 

Our next lunch meeting will be on January 10th at Tony Roma's in the Londonderry Mall, 6604 137 Ave NW at 1:00 pmWe hope as many as possible can attend and of course husbands or significant others are always welcome. Any questions, please call me, Elke Carr, at 1-780-912-9242 or e-mail me at wecarr@telus.net.

*If you host a regular luncheon please contact us let us know where you are. You do not have to publish your information in the newsletter but if we know your group exists, we can contact you if ladies in their area are looking for a luncheon group to join. Thanks so much for participating!
