So, here we are in November and many of our Snowbirds are leaving or have already headed South. We wish them safe journeys and happy days.

For those of us remaining here for all or part of the Winter months we have planned some interesting events:

Firstly we have the the Christmas Party, together with our Newcomer friends, at the Coast Capri hotel on Saturday, December 6th. This will be a great evening with a served Dinner, Entertainment, Music for listening and/or dancing and Door Prizes.

Tickets for the Christmas Party are now on sale and if you are planning to come (and I hope you are) I urge you to take advantage of the subsidized price of $45 per ticket bought by November 9th (ie up to the November Club Meeting night).

After November 9th the full price $50 per ticket will apply!

Tickets for the Christmas Party are available from Gary Williamson or any member of the Plus 3 Executive – get yours at the $45 price before the deadline of November 9th !

Tickets for the Christmas Party are selling well and we are expecting to reach the Capri limit of 200 Partygoers well before the event – don’t be disappointed – get your tickets now!

In January we are trying to arrange an outing to the CHBC TV Studios. It is some years since we last visited them and it is time to update ourselves with what is going on and what is in the pipeline. We will get a notice out asap of the details of this group visit.

On Friday, February 24th, 2012, we have arranged to go to Infusions Restaurant at the Okanagan College. Depending on the numbers interested in participating, we shall either sit down to a plated served dinner or the famous Buffet. Details will be available in January when ticket sales will start – meanwhile, mark your calendar for February 24, 2012.

In March 2012 we shall be arranging a Group Outing to visit the Sparkling Hill Wellness Resort in Vernon (near Predator Ridge, www.sparklinghill.com). Details will be available December / January and since the numbers will be limited, we shall be organizing the trip on a first come, first served basis.

On Saturday, April 7th 2012 we have booked (by popular request) another Murder Mystery Dinner Evening at Bunches Bistro on Springfield, Kelowna. Tickets will go on sale for this event in February – so watch this space for more details – but mark April 7th in your calendar.

In addition to these events we are also planning events for the Plus 3 Gardeners.
We are trying to arrange for Group visits in March/April to one or both of City of Kelowna Parks Gardening Department and The Greenery to observe and get tips /ideas for garden plant care/preparation and hanging basket preparation and maintenance. Details to follow in January.

So, we have an interesting time ahead – but we are always ready to listen to your suggestions for activities and events. This is your club and we want everyone to be involved and take an active part in the Club Activities as well as taking Active Roles in the running and responsibilities associated with the Plus 3 Club.
