“Dog Guides Change Lives”

At our October meeting, Susan Sheen came to tell us about the Lions Foundation Dog Guides and their Foster Puppy Program. Susan brought her foster poodle puppy Maui and an Uxbridge friend Nicky came with her foster, a black lab named Rockette. 

(The black lab is in the breeding

program at Dog Guides, and she gave birth to 4 puppies about a week later!) 

After the meeting our members were very generous, and combined with the Speaker Fee donation and Share the Wealth, we raised $750 for the Foundation!!

Stories from Cenotaphs

In the spirit of Remembrance Day, Sean Musson will talk to us about Canadian Cenotaphs,

their purpose and history, and how he started the Cenotaph Stories Project. 

His aim is to bring back to living memory, the stories of some of the brave individuals whose names are carved upon the memorials, and to honour their service and the spirit of those who created the Cenotaphs. He will have some stories from the Uxbridge Cenotaph to share with us as well.

He will have some stories from the Uxbridge Cenotaph to share with us as well.

"Although the vast majority of cenotaphs  honour individuals, many noted cenotaphs are also dedicated to the memories  of groups of individuals, such as the lost soldiers of a country or of an empire. "

Cenotaphs are an important reminder of our commitment to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in order for us to enjoy the freedoms we enjoy today.

Rectum? Darn near killed em! 

Perfectly punctuated with moments of laugh out loud humour and sobering insight, Neil Crone candidly describes his journey through diagnosis and treatment of Stage III colo-rectal cancer and how his training as a Mainstage Second City comic improvisor taught him how to say ‘Yes’ to everything that was thrown at him.
