Brents Bunch Christmas Dance is Thursday and other reminders

Hi - Therese asked me to remind everyone that this Thursday is our Christmas wind up.  Here are the details from Brent again:

Our Christmas dance will now be on December 11 7:30-9:15.  We will be serving coffee, tea, and goodies.  If you would like, please bring a small plate of goodies for sharing.  Also, if you would like to invite guests to come and dance or just visit, please see the attached poster to share.  

We are also collecting donations for Toys for Tots.

A few other reminders:

Karen Dobson's Celebration of Life is Friday afternoon.

Obituary linked here.

If you want to work off some calories while being a good dance citizen, come out to the December 28 Mid-Year dance to angel for new dancers.  Poster here.

If you are thinking of attending the 2026 National in Penticton next July, the price goes up by $25/person on January 1, and a $5 fee will be applied for credit card payments.  Also the first of the reserved hotel blocks will be released to the general public on January 15.  Details on the website.

See you Thursday!

Brent's Bunch updates

Hello everyone, 

I hope you're all doing well and enjoying our wonderful weather in the Northwest. 

Brent just had his 5th treatment and is resting, with one more to go!  Thank you for all your support and prayers as we navigate his treatments.  

Tonight is Bryan Clark calling. I will be home with Brent due to his treatment today.   Thank you, Debra, for opening the hall and helping with the sign-in sheets and collecting money.  

Next week, on December 4, John Corrigan is calling. 

I have contacted Burnaby Parks, and the heating should be working to a better temperature than last week. I have also cancelled our dance on December 18 due to Brent's last treatment.  Dancers who have prepaid, we will reduce the amount owing for the next season of dancing.  

Our Christmas dance will now be on December 11 7:30-9:15.  We will be serving coffee, tea, and goodies.  If you would like, please bring a small plate of goodies for sharing.  Also, if you would like to invite guests to come and dance or just visit, please see the attached poster to share. 

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.  

Enjoy the calling of Bryan and John over the next few weeks. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
