The Leeder Outlook
Last winter was a busy one! I spent a lot of time visiting various social events throughout Florida on behalf of the CSA and Medipac International. It's something I enjoy since I get to meet a lot of wonderful people and have a lot of fun too. Here are a few of the events.
But before we go there, I have this message. If you're involved with the planning of a social event such as a Canada Day and would like some of our attractive dinner-table PLACEMATS -- absolutely free (see page 16) -- that contain the words to O Canada and the Star Spangled Banner, give me a call toll-free from Canada or the U.S. at 1-877-633-4722. Last year, we provided more than 100,000 of them, pretty good service we're providing, eh? Hats off to the CSA, Medipac and AT&T, sponsors of the placemats!
Canadian Society of St. Petersburg
It was a beautiful day for a picnic at Fort DeSoto Park in St. Petersburg, FL last March and these gals took advantage of it. LtoR, Belle Stewart, Hunter River, PEI, Margaret Stritychuk, Cambridge, ON, Pauline Davis, Moncton, NB, Louise Gilliatt, Dartmouth, NS, Sally Morrison, Sudbury, ON. Information about this club is available by calling Lee Green in Kanata, ON at 613-270-9469, FL, 727-343-8211.

Westwinds Village Canada Day
I goofed on this one! These folks took the trouble to identify themselves on the back of a CSA placemat--and I lost it while rearranging my office this summer--shame on me! Anyway, they were celebrating Westwinds Village Annual Canada Day at Bradenton, FL. Sorry folks!
Sudbury Annual Picnic
Fort Desoto Park in St. Petersburg, FL, has been the site for this successful picnic for many years and, through the efforts of Doc and Lorraine Schellinck at left, it continues to be a favourite event for me. The other couples are, centre, Bernie and Rita Chiasson and Kay and Harold Strut. Information in Florida, 727-381-7814.
