Thank you so very much to all of my friends and neighbours who stopped in on

my last afternoon at the Credit Union to wish me well on my retirement (and birth-

day). The good wishes I received from all of you, and the cards and gifts were

overwhelming. I have always enjoyed my job, and I will miss seeing you across the

counter, and helping you. Ed and I are looking forward to this opportunity to

travel; however, we will be back in the spring, so please plan to visit and have a

coffee, as I will have lots of time for visiting then. Thank you again. Sharon

I would like to thank everyone for all the cards, gifts and phone calls I received

for my birthday. Thanks to Terry for all her “over the hill” decorations. Special

thanks to Louise for the curling-ice cake and candygram; also to Debra for all her

input for the occasion. Good time was had by all! Thanks! Peggy

Consul Figure Skating Club extends a big thank you to everyone for their sup-

port through buying community calendars!
