Newsletter December 2013
As we entered our second year, and as the year comes to a close, we can definitely say that the Club has been in full swing and starting to take shape more and more. The Club’s AGM was held on Tuesday, September 10, 2013, was well attended and the financial report presented by Ian Wilson was well received and approved by all. The new Executive Council and Officers (8) are as follows: A call was made for people to become Councillors* who would assist in planning/organizing events with the assistance of the Executive. So as you can see, two more people stepped up to the plate. Next, let us take you to the events of the year….so sit back, enjoy, reminisce and see what your fellow retirees have been up to!!

PUB LUNCH KENSINGTON LEGION MARCH 2013
COMMUNITY KITCHEN APRIL & OCTOBER 2013
This was volunteering at the
Community Kitchen (April
2013) where we were sorting
out the goods. And it is not
just all work – as you can see,
we have lots of fun, and who
wouldn’t? Just take a gander
at our “Cantaloupe Man”
(AllanTimms)- he is the clown
of the group!!!
There were 33 happy go-lucky retirees in
attendance.
Packing, sorting, moving the boxes and
they keep going and going….just like
the “Energized Rabbit” on a Duracell
advertisement. Could you ask for
more?
TRIP TO ROSEBUD THEATRE APRIL 2013
Master Baker – Larry Carr
You call this baking????
guess he must have
been the “Sampler!” Carl
Powell
The “Baking Crew”
“”
On another occasion, (October 2013) these indefatigable group of
retirees came back to the Community Kitchen to “bake”. This
volunteering effort is coordinated by Larry & Ann Carr.
It was a beautiful day for a ride all the way to
Rosebud, Alberta to watch a play. Bev Rumsey
amused the group with some of her games.
Before lunch, everyone roamed around and took
in the sights, then to the gift shop for some
shopping, followed by lunch and then off to the
theatre to watch “Barefoot in the Park” – a seam-
splitting comedy, then home. What a wonderful
day it was!!!
SPRING LUNCH AT STAGEWEST MAY 2013
PATIO LUNCH AT FOX HOLLOW JULY 2013
“Seafood Friday” at Stagewest
This was originally a BBQ to be held
at the Lynwood Ranch, but the “Big
Flood” in June took Calgary and
surrounding areas by surprise
creating havoc and uncertainty.
It was still a beautiful and sunny day enjoyed by
many. As the sun got brighter and stronger we
continued the party inside.
HRC RETIREES AT THE HUSKY STAMPEDE BREAKFAST JULY 2013
GOLF AND LUNCH AT HARVEST HILLS AUGUST 2013
After a nine-hole game of golf on another
beautiful day, the morning culminated with
a “healthy” lunch of soups and sandwiches,
cheeses and desserts marking the end of
another well attended event.

VETERAN’S FUND RAISING PROJECT NOVEMBER 4-8, 2013
ZOOLIGHTS DECEMBER 2013 ALPINE SKIING DECEMBER 2013
One of the most notable volunteering events was putting a
fund raising event for the Veterans’ Food Bank which was
organized in conjunction with Remembrance Day and held
in the foyer of Western Canadian Place with the approval of
Husky’s Corporate Communication. This year, HRC raised
$6,6,40.00 in cash donations and around 300 lbs. of food
donations.
Bev Rumsey and Bill Miller
The amazing HRC volunteers….forever giving!
Fourteen (14) volunteers came out to brave the
cold weather once again, but with the usual
candor and enthusiasm….fire pits and hot
chocolate were there to warm them up!!
A new undertaking by HRC member Vic Wiebe
took five (5) retirees to ski Sunshine Village which
had 6-12” of new snow. It was a very windy day
so they stayed low skiing the Wawa and
Wolverine runs. A potential date of January 8,
2014 is being planned.
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS LUNCHEON DECEMBER 2013
Served to start with was an appetizer of
Bruschetta with Capicollo and Prosciutto, a
salad of Mixed Greens followed by a choice
of Grilled Chicken, Pan-seared Halibut or
Stracchi Crepes with seasonal vegetables and
topping it off with Vanilla Crème Brulee and
Ice Cream Crepes of Vanilla and Chocolate
with a Triple Berry Sauce. Gauging by their
smiles, these 55 HRC retirees had a
wonderful time!
HRC Christmas Luncheon held at
