Can you believe it – we are almost in September!! As I was driving home through southern Manitoba yesterday – many trees in the Pembina Valley are turning yellow – already!!
Wednesday, September 6th, 2023
Come and join us for our branch meeting being held at the Rotary Picnic Shelter at the Riverbank Discovery Center – from 7 – 9. Please come prepared to share:
- a potluck item
- your success stories ( or challenges) in recent months
Remember to bring your lawn chair and personal dishes – and don’t forget something to drink. In the case of inclement weather, an email will be sent out to cancel so Please check your emails before you leave home.
There are 2 shelters at the Riverbank Discovery Center — ours is the closest to the road in from Kirkcaldy Drive; it ends in a parking area. For those unfamiliar, the entrance road is just west of Kirkcaldy School grounds – opposite of Patterson Drive. The road is called Red Willow Trail but may not have a sign.
