Congratulations John and Narda!

The Finlaysons invited us all over for a barbecue the day following their wedding.  As you will see by the photos, it was a terrific party! Here is a link to the album.

Summer Update

We were notified of the recent passing of Alice Fairbourn, who was a remarkable woman to her death at age 92.  The following is from the FVSRDA In Memoriam page.  Gaylene will provide information on the service when it is known.
It's with great sadness, we inform you of the passing of long time Swinging Singles Square Dance Club member, Alice Fairbourn, in Qualicum Beach. Alice was a strong woman and fought a strong battle with her Cancer. As more information becomes available, you'll be notified.
On a happier note, thanks to Robin Gentry for sending us the following link to photos from the Ice Cream Social. 
Facebook contains only a small subset of the pictures I took. The link below contains all of the pictures minus video which is on Facebook.

If you were there, you can probably find yourself at least once.  Below is one of Amanda with her well-deserved Driscoll Teen Award.  That and others are part of the photos taken by Robin.  Our boys Brent Mawdsley and Chuck Jordan along with Heather Wallace called a wonderful dance.  Our only complaint was that they wouldn't take bribes to get our table up for ice cream sooner.

Many of us celebrated Brent's 50th birthday and Amanda's graduation at the Mawdsley home on June 30.  Great party!

A group of us enjoyed the Canada Day dance in Maple Ridge last night.

We look forward to seeing you again soon!
