We have fast walkers and slow walkers in our Tuesday morning walking group. We have some who arrive late but jog to catch up and some who take their time and take pictures along the way or identify each bird call as it sounds. Some revel in the rain while others bring umbrellas. No matter what your thoughts are on a perfect walk, ours are all about friendship and exercise and great conversation. None of us is perfect, but we are all interesting and interested.
We lost a dear longtime member recently: Mary Laurie-Pile, an amazing woman who left a deep imprint on our community in an amazing number of ways.
Here is her obituary.
She was a long time member of the walking group and as we walked, she would pick up trash along the way, determined to keep our public walkways clean. On our walk today, our thoughts were on Mary as we passed a giant can that someone carelessly tossed in the middle of the walking trail. Here’s Norah, picking up the trash and disposing it, in a tribute to dear Mary.
We met again over lunch to talk about books and as always, we covered a LOT of ground. Always so interesting!
This is Elizabeth Capitano, president, and Lin Fines, of the leadership team. The photobomber is Dian Kusyk, another very active club member. Betsy and Lin are going through the AGM booklet which outlines all that the club has done over the past year. Are you interested in reading it? Here it is:

And our notes done the old fashioned way!
After many days of rain and grey, today was a beautiful walking day. These are the 10am group, who were like ships passing in the night with the 9:30s.
