Hello Everyone: 

This month the President's message focuses on our exciting summer activities and the September excursion to the Boeing Plant.  Robert likes to plan ahead and he is already thinking about the November AGM. Because some of the Management team are completing their two year terms in the next few months, it is time to consider stepping in to fill a few of the vacancies.

What a lot of fun and educational too! As a fairly new resident to this area, I learned a lot about downtown Nanaimo during our two hour digital scavenger hunt.  We also met some very friendly Nanaimoites, who were anxious and ready to help us find all sorts of "photo sites".  We ventured into the Palace Hotel, down into Muffeo Park, found the statue of the white dog on a leash and even discovered a kangaroo (in various forms).

Sunny skies and great enthusiasm set the stage for our "Golf for Fun" Out and About at Arrowsmith Golf Course on June 19th.  Six groups of four met the challenges of tree lined fairways, lost balls, and the occasional deer or two.  Scores were not revealed but many shared "golf stories" with a beverage at Micky J's after the event.

"How do we learn about history? Burrow into it and learn about the lives of the people."  This was the key focus of author Ian Bruce Robertson's presentation at our June 5th meeting.  His approach to history, was inspired by his grade 5 teacher who told exciting stories about people in the historical times studied.  Robertson discussed the interesting life of his relative, The Honourable Alexander Robertson, the first Provincial Secretary of BC and the process of researching and writing his creative non-fiction book about "The Honourable Aleck", which took six years.
