Our regular general meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 21, 2025 at the Police Department, 21 Havelock St, in the Francis Smith board room 2nd floor.
A Show & Tell will be held for the evening after a brief meeting. So please bring along something that has a unique story or anything of general interest to entertain for the attending parties.
Everyone is welcome.
Please join us for an enjoyable evening, and a 50/50 draw.

The leading drone picture is a beautiful view of a small part of Opa’s Garden owned and operated by Louis Oickle and his wife, Janie who manages the shop. Shown in the background are Lorneville’s Jackson Point, the cottages and a peek at Northumberland Strait. Growing in the Garden are rows of potatoes and raspberries followed by rows of leafy veggies closer to the shop where the Canadian flag flies. On the very low right above the white RV, are more rows of leafy veggies. Opa’s Garden extends much, much further as can be seen in the distance near the Northumberland Strait on the right.
