Month: April 2022
Hi Folks:
Unfortunately, our season came to an abrupt halt with the current uprising of Covidš.Ā However, I think that we can conclude that the season was a success in spite of the starts and stopsš.Ā We were able to get 95% of the season under our belts and have aĀ š„”Friendly” with MGCC and twoĀ ššTrophy Spiels.Ā All in all, a successful season!Ā Ā This is my last weekly messageĀ š„Ā and it is mainly designed to giveĀ THANKSĀ to those who helped make the season such a success:
- First andĀ foremost,Ā THANKSĀ štoĀ JOE CARUSOĀ for his commitment to Humber Seniors and for looking after SOOOOOOO many details (If I list them, I will likely leave some out, so I just leave it as “SOOOOOOO many details”).
- THANKSĀ to our Executive Team –Ā šHUGH GOODWILLIE, DOUG MARTIN, LARRY CHARBONNEAU, JOHN PAGE, BOB HAND, JOHN RUDD, JOE CARUSO, BRUCE WITHER, BEVIS BROWNE, and HAL DICKOUTĀ for their ongoing contributions to the day-to-day details of running Humber Seniors.
- THANKSĀ to those who looked after the details for the “Friendly” and Trophy Spiels –Ā šBRUCE WITHER, CRAIG FRANKLIN, BOB HAND, and JOE CARUSO.

āāGratitude unlocks the fulness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity,Ā It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
