2. November Retirees Meeting - Thursday, 6 Nov 2025 at 2 pm In light of Remembrance Day, we are delighted to have Sergeant (ret’d) Bob George share his experience with us. He has served on UN missions in the Gaza Strip and the Congo. He is also one of the founding members of Peacekeeper’s Park in Angus. Please join us that afternoon for a very interesting presentation and Q&A session. All welcome. Refreshments to be provided.

3. Mark Your Calendar! Star So Bright: A Journey of Faith written by Jackie Bennett is a presentation of word and song about a woman who is called by God to go to Bethlehem during a time when women did not travel on their own. With great courage and faith she does as she is asked, and discovers, not only a miracle, but also her purpose in life. Although this fictitious story is set in biblical times, it tells of a journey that is relevant today as we all search for where we belong and how our faith leads us there. The music, performed by The Thomas Trinity Band, is contemporary with eastern, pop and folk influences. The story will be read by women from various churches. There will be two opportunities to attend this moving performance.
