Congratulations to student Riley Hoosey for winning the $500 OAP Bursary to furthering his education. Good luck on your future plans.
We wrapped up with our last meeting before summer break on June 13th. With a good turnout we really appreciated our guest speakers, lawyers Joe Dueling and Nicole Hunder from Woolley & Co, Lumby office. They covered the basics on Estate and Incapacity Planning. Noting that each members circumstances would be unique but pointing out the need for preplanning is paramount with Joe’s sage and droll presentation and Nicole’s articulate explanations and examples. We are so thankful to have their services so accessible.
We served up our traditional pancake breakfast both Saturday and Sunday on Lumby Days and appreciated all the volunteers that helped make it possible. It just shows a little rain doesn’t slow us down!!
We’ll be back September 12th for our General Meeting and preparing for our British Columbia Old Age Pensioners Organization Annual Provincial meeting held here September 24th and 25th with a” Country” Theme. Lunches will start back up again September 19th.
