Toys for Tots

We had a magical evening dancing to Brent's stupendous calling and singing, catching up with friends, and enjoying the delicious assortment of treats. Thanks to Brent & Therese for providing the party favours, door prizes and the decorations.

We are pleased to show off the terrific collection of donations for the Burnaby Christmas Bureau. Thank you for your thoughtful generosity!

Brent's Bunch Season WindUp Thursday, December 15 / Toys for Tots

Our final dance of the season is this Thursday, December 15, 7:30 - 9:15 pm, Burnaby Lake Pavilion.  Doors open at 7:15.  Come enjoy the magic of Brent singing seasonal favoutites.  Coffee, tea and treats will be available through the latter half of the dance.  We hope to welcome our former dancers for a visit.

Square dancers have a long history of donating toys to needy children through the Burnaby Christmas Bureau.  As in the past, if you bring a new, unwrapped toy to our season windup dance, Chuck and I will deliver the collected toys to the depot at Brentwood. If you would like gift ideas, here is a link to their suggestions:

We will also deliver cash donations or cheques - we suggest you put it in an envelope with your name and address provided, so that a tax receipt can be issued.  You may prefer the convenience of donating online at www.BByServices.ca/Donate

Hope to see you Thursday!

Brent’s Bunch Last Dance of Season May 5 and COVID Notice

Hi Brent's Bunch Members & Guests,

This is a reminder that our last dance of this season is this Thursday, May 5, at the Burnaby Lake Pavilion.  Doors open at 7:15 pm with Plus dancing from 7:30 – 9:15 pm.  I look forward to seeing you. 

So that you can make an informed decision to attend or not, I would like you to know that I called for the Abbotsford Grand Squares on Monday, May 2, and have been informed that two people that were in attendance, but were not dancing, have since tested positive for COVID-19.  One of these persons used my microphone briefly.  I'm feeling fine, am fully vaccinated, and had COVID in January so am not too worried about myself.  I'll self-monitor for symptoms, test myself on Thursday afternoon, and not get too close to others at the hall.  We will all continue to wear masks while in the hall at all times.  As a reminder, if you feel "off" of ill in any way or have any COVID-related symptoms please stay home and see us next time.

Brent's Bunch will resume dancing in the fall on Thursday, September 15, 2022, at the Burnaby Lake Pavilion.

Best Regards,
Brent
