SRABC-COQUITLAM BRANCH LUNCHEON 2008

Coquitlam, BC, Canada (click photo for larger view) Templeton Branch went to Coquitlam Branch luncheon, Friday, June 20, 2008.
Some of our group went by car. In Ollie's van were Wanda, Gabriel, and Bill. Our volunteer, Gina's car were Joe, Athena and our another volunteer, Umeka. Deb and Gage came with Mei-lin, Killarney Branch Coordinator. I went to Coquitlam by Skytrain and public bus on my electric scooter and I really liked it now.

Other branches: Killarney, Delta, both South and North Burnaby, Port Coquitlam Branches were there. And, of course, the host branch, Coquitlam. SRABC Executive Director, Linda Lane Devlin and Coquitlam Mayor Maxine Wilson.

Luncheon was good and dessert was excellent; lots of coffee and tea.

Only Joe won on raffle. He got 'perpetual' candle because it was so big!

The entertainment, Comedi Improv group, was hilarious; and, with audience participation, lots of amusing things happened along way.
When you were having fun, time is short, because three hours is not enough!

We cannot wait for the next year luncheon.

"STRIDES FOR STROKES 2008" click photo for larger view
Saturday, June 14, 2008. West Vancouver Seawall (near Ambleside Park) BC, Canada.
Led by Stroke Recovery Association BC. Templeton Turtles walked and wheelchaired the route; from John Lawson Park to Dundarave Park and back.

Branches from North Shore, Langley, Coquitlam, Vancouver (Strathcona, Templeton, Douglas Park, Killarney) walked the whole way. You could see the people with blue t-shirts along the seawall.

I went to "Strides for Strokes 2008" with my electric scooter; I took Skytrain, Seabus, bus to Park Royal, West Vancouver in less than an hour. From Park Royal; Ambleside Park is less two kilometer.
Easier than I thought it would be; being the first time I tried this. And I liked it--joe
