THANK YOU TO THE KLASSEN FAMILY

On Friday, July 25th family and friends of John P. Klassen came together at Colasanti's Tropical Gardens to celebrate his birthday at the annual "Hon Down". This year would have been John's 60th birthday. In memory of John, this year the family donated the proceeds of the annual event to the Windsor Cancer Research Group. Thank you to Jane and her family for supporting WCRG and local cancer research. The funds raised are being directed to supporting the development of a new WCRG website which will be built as an interactive resource for our members and the community.
