Over 300 Canadians attended the Loonies and Toonies meeting on January 9, 2013, to listen to the guest speaker, Dr. Robert MacMillan of Medipac. His presentation was excellent and gave us an insight on how to live a longer and healthier life. As well, he gave a very positive review on the current situation between The Villages Hospital and Medipac. Our webmaster and his helper also showed us a slide presentation which featured our members that have had their photos taken by our crack photographers over the past two years.
Mike Palma (Just Mike) got a lot of Canucks on the dance floor during the social part of the evening. His enthusiasm is contagious. Our 50/50 winners of $75.00 for this month were .... Gail Meehan, Little Current, Ontario, Sheila McBride, Milton, Ontario, and Bill Barry, New Hamburg, Ontario. The winner of the Moncton Bankroll of $ 60.00 (all in one dollar bills) was Anne Marie O’Shea, Toronto, Ontario.
As always, we are grateful to Dave Horsman, Head Loonie, for all his hard work in making this Club vibrant and interesting.
