On New Year’s Day and throughout the year may the kindness you’ve given to others return many times to you. Happy New Year! Our guest speaker at the December 4th meeting provided insight into the new transit system (ION) coming soon to our twin cities and the maintenance building being constructed next door to the Wing; our members asked pertinent and great questions. December was a happy and busy month at the Wing. It was great to see members bustling about the Wing and to hear the hum of voices as they enjoyed a good meal and the company of others at all the special Christmas events and activities. There was one exception, we had a small break-in; there were minimal losses and fortunately no major damage was done, but it is unsettling; the City of Waterloo staff were a great support and speedily fixed the roof. Congratulations to the Ladies Auxiliary on a most successful Cookie Walk and breakfast.

LADIES AUXILIARY Carol Totzke

By the time you read this message, Christmas will be past. I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday.The Ladies Auxiliary’s Cookie Walk and Breakfast was a success again this year. That and the Gourmet Basket ticket sales totalled $1517. (the cookies were sold out in one and one half hours). Thanks to everyone who baked or bought cookies, cooked and served breakfast, and sold tickets on the Gourmet basket, or helped in any way. Many hands make lighter work.The winner of the Gourmet basket was Mary Cybulski, (aunt of Brenda Bennett). 2nd prize was won by Gerth Daub and 3rd prize, Michelle Leschak.

The Ladies Christmas Dinner was catered by Kennedys, and served by five handsome and competent men. HARVEY FRY, VIC SNOWDEN, LARRY ALLENSON, TOM STAMP and Santa Clause (KEITH NORRIS), and our bar keeper GARRY KUEHL. The dinner was enjoyed by all. Thanks to the generosity of all the Ladies we were able to donate 84 pounds of food to the food bank as well as $250. to the Salvation Army Angel Tree.Friday Lunches will start again on January 9th, 2015. Our next regular meeting will be on January 21st.Mark your calendars for APRIL 22nd for our annual CARD PARTY. We had to change the date from the 3rd Wednesday to the 4th Wednesday as the City needed the room. More on that in future bulletins.
