Triwood 60th Anniversary Celebration
Hi Everyone,
Triwood Community Association is Celebrating their 60th Anniversary on May 28th. And they are looking for Volunteers to Help them Celebrate.
So if you’re available to help them by Volunteering it would be greatly appreciated. If not, Let’s go out and Celebrate with them! It’s sure to be a Fun Day.
Here is the Message I received from their Executive Director Stephan Horbay with Triwood,
“Hello Triwood Community Association stakeholders!
This year, Triwood is turning 60 years old (well, 60 and a half… our party is a little delayed thanks to COVID)!
Thank you sincerely!!
Stephan HorbayExecutive Director
Triwood Community Association"
This Event on May 28th coincides with the Kelowna Ogopogo’s Softball Tournament, so I know there will be many of our members that will not be available to assist. But if you’re available, let’s try and assist them by Volunteering or helping them Celebrate.
Cheers Everyone,
Paul M
