Wednesday June 14th at 10:30 AM: Hindu Madir (Hindu name for temple) in Etobicoke. We had 30 people attend the tour. Lester was able to arrange for a guide. Everyone expressed amazement at the scope of the Madir, and the welcoming we received by their volunteers. We were invited to attend a ceremony where congregants attend to express their faith in Hinduism, and their respect for the Madir and leaders. Some of us stayed after tour for meal, at $n/c, as part of the Madir’s commitment for charitable acts. A fantastic day! |
Ocala Winery, Wednesday August 23rd @ 1:30pm: 27 members attended the event. We started with a tour of their facility, the wine making and bottling, their fruit tree farm and their camping facility (“Borderline Camping”). Then we gathered for the main event - each person received a 3-glass flight of either wine or summer cocktails, plus a charcuterie. Some members purchased wine for their home consumption. And the day ended with complimentary butter tarts.
