New Pictures in the Seniors Centre

In early March, we changed the six KSCCC pictures in the
Seniors Centre. Please take a minute to have a look at them,
when you are next at the Centre. Thanks to the following
photographers for some great pictures: Jay-Dee Purdy, Amy Lo,
Jane Phipps, Ted Timmons, Bruce Turner, and Wendy Wood.
As a reminder, the KSCCC is looking for additional pictures to
hang in the Seniors Centre, and we encourage all club members
to contribute.  We are now open for business for the June change.
If you have a picture you really like, then chances are people at
the centre would like to see it too. For more information on how to
participate, please check out this post or send your questions to
contact@ksccc.ca to the attention of Jan and Bruce Turner.
