A NITE OUT AROUND
I think we all would agree the kitchen table is where we solved the world’s problems, talked about the job and the fires, vented our frustrations, and shared a few laughs, typically at someone else's expense.
It’s where lessons, both from life and the job are passed down. It was hallowed ground. The kitchen table holds a special significance to us all on so many fronts.
​
Day or night, hot or cold, kitchen-table conversations provided a mechanism of emotional healing for us who’ve born witness to life’s most tragic circumstances.
​
On November 27th @7:00 PM please join us for an evening of conversation, a few laughs and the opportunity to check in with a few brothers you may have not seen in awhile. This event is open to any retired members of Local 18 and Local 323 Only. We would ask that you take a few minutes to let us know you will be attending.
​
Refreshments and snacks will be provided.

Location: Burnaby Rugby Club
Time: 7-9:00 PM
