Past Social Events 2022 - 2023

Spring Luncheon – rescheduled to April 4, 2024. Initially March 21st was our chosen date, but Mother Nature and a storm warning provided a lot of extra moisture not helping our driving habits, so the Luncheon was postponed to April 4th and guess what! Yes, Mother Nature provided more moisture, but we made it happen. There were an additional ten people able to attend – 75 brave retirees and friends. Thank you, Paul for stepping in for our Leader as Moe and Elaine were away. Thanks again to the Legion for providing the delicious soup, bunwiches, and excellent dessert for our Luncheon. Everyone appreciated the opportunity to get together again.

AGM/Christmas Dinner – November 25, 2023

The weather cooperated, and we had a great attendance and a short but sweet AGM. Welcome to Paul Feddema who has joined the Leadership Team as a floater willing to help where needed. Thanks again to the Legion for a delicious turkey dinner followed by music and dancing. This made a great AGM and Christmas Dinner.

September BBQ – September 14, 2023 

With the rising cost of steaks, we had a “BEEF” change for this BBQ. From the feedback we have received so far, the change was well received. We had a special message on our cakes to celebrate our 40th year. SAIT’s ALIVE was established in 1983. 100 enjoyed the BBQ at the Triwood Community Centre.  What a wonderful day to visit with friends and meet other members. The Leadership Team thanks all who attended and to those who volunteered to make this a successful event.

June BBQ – June 14, 2023

109 members and friends enjoyed our famous BBQ with all the trimmings at the Triwood Community Centre. What a wonderful day to visit with friends and meet other members and of course it was raining. The Leadership Team thanks all who attended and to those who volunteered to make this a successful event.   

Spring Luncheon - March 16, 2023

83 members and friends enjoyed a variety of fresh bunwiches, homemade soup and delicious dessert at our March Luncheon prepared by the Chapelhow Legion.  What a wonderful day to visit with friends and meet other members. The Leadership Team thanks all who attended and to those who volunteered to make this a successful event.

AGM and Christmas Party - November 26, 2022

Over 110 members attended our first in-person Annual General Meeting since 2019. Everyone then enjoyed a traditional Christmas turkey dinner. The catering staff again did a great job and all attending had a great evening of fellowship.

June BBQ – June 15, 2022 

For the first time in two years, 132 members enjoyed the Welcome Back June BBQ at the Triwood Community Centre. Yes, a BBQ with tablecloths and not having to worry about the weather or to bring anything except yourselves and have time for a coffee and visit before dinner! A huge thank you to Stacey and the Catering Staff at Triwood for providing our members with their favourite BBQ foods – steak,  potatoes, Caesar Salad, garlic toast, baked beans and all the condiments. We still love cake as a dessert. It was a great WELCOME BACK BBQ. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped put it together. Thanks to our volunteers.

Spring Luncheon - April 7, 2022

For the first time in two years, 130 members confirmed their attendance and welcomed the opportunity to gather at the Chapelhow Legion. We enjoyed a choice of soup, a variety of bunwiches and cake. It was great seeing and catching up with each other. A huge thank you to Heather and her staff for serving our food so we didn't have to handle it. Since we are still in pandemic mode, there were a few members who were unable to attend due to illness and medical issues. We hope they will be able to come to the BBQ in June. It was a great WELCOME BACK Luncheon.
