Nanaimo Harbour City Newcomers Club

What a summer we’re having!! And as sunny and dry as it is, it’s time to think about September and all the fun HCNC activities ahead. Firstly thank you to those returning as convenors  for organizing your activities last year and thank you to those stepping up to head up activities this year. Please confirm that you intend to continue  as convenors for the 2023 – 2024 HCNC year. 
—  Here is the line up so far (based on conversations with everyone in June.) Short Hikes – Fran and Jan
Hiking – Anne 
Drop-in pickleball – Carol
Forest Bathing – Jamie
Singo – Christine
Pub Lunch – Karen and Cindy
Happy Hour – Saila
Golf – Wayne

—We are hoping that members will step up to convene the following previously popular activities that as yet have no one to convene. If you know of anyone who would be interested, please pass on their names.   Men’s Breakfast?   Drinks and Appies?   Potluck Dinner Party?  
—We’ve enclosed a September calendar so that you can view activities to date.  Thank you Karen and Jamie who have indicated their dates already. Please email us and let us know the time, date and venue of your activity. This year we’ll hope to email the calendars and activity charts out to members the first of each month. Your help is so appreciated. As always there will be pop up/ one-off activities that will be added later and can be viewed at monthly meetings, on the HCNC website and Facebook. We would ask that you please email your confirmation of dates, times and venues a week before the beginning of the month (August 25th this month). If you have some new activities or events you’d like to put forth or include please let us know – we are open to all suggestions. 
—Thank you again for your friendship, leadership, support and vested interest in HCNC. You are the heart of this club.
Warm Wishes, Patty and Shirlanne (Activity Coordinators)
