Chilliwack Strawberry Social

We started out with our service on the lawn and so many people showed up we couldn’t all fit under the tent…and many more people showed up throughout the day.

  Over 80 people came out to our Strawberry Social. 

Check out our Chilliwack facebook page to see videos of our musical guests Damien Brennan and The Chilliwack Harmony Chorus.

Special thanks to Dos Cerveza - Bonnie Levitt and Alexis Beer, who kicked off the day with a full set of songs with original arrangements.

Bill won the limerick contest, a Strawberry Pie!

Gwyn Beer was our judge.

Betty Gurney turns 90!!!

We had a great turnout for Betty’s 90th birthday which included her brother Fred and his wife Maureen from California.  Overheard at the party “wow Betty sure looks good for 80” (I guess that means she looks spectacular for 90!!!) Happy Birthday Betty!
