After 4.5 days straight of perfect weather for hiking and outdoor socializing, the weather gods favoured us by holding off the rain until about 7:30. Even then, it was just splatters. All in all, conditions were perfect in the lovely backyard of Kathy and John Burgers. There was some question about whether our BBQ chefs were vaping when we thought they should be cooking, but all turned out well. The Social Committee arranged for a nice selection of protein and fixings, complemented by appetizers, salads, and desserts brought by members. The result was good variety and quality at a great price. The 57 members in attendance seemed to agree.
The Social Committee and setting were perfect, allowing for some good socializing time at the start followed by great food service. Thanks to the committee -- Sue Stephens (Chair), Mary DM, Deb Porszt, Mary Lester, Carolyn Rumble, our chefs Michael, Ross and Gerry, and of course our hosts Kathy and John.
