About 40 members and guests attended our June Potluck on Saturday the 14th. We were pleased to welcome a few guests attending for the first time, and I also signed up two new members.
Due to circumstances, our scheduled guest speaker had to cancel, and I came up with a game at the last minute, my version of the popular game show "Password". The four contestants were Bruce, Wendell, Dave and Carl, who all showed their expertise of English words.
The winner was Carl, the only Asian contestant. Congratulations Carl. As per usual, there are no losers in our games, and all four contestants received a nice prize. The game was well received by the attending group, and there were a few tense moments, and plenty of laughs.
If you weren't there, you missed a fun night, and we hope that you will attend our next potluck on July 12th.
Photos of the evening are posted in the member's area of the website.

Seventeen members and guests gathered on May 24th for Dim Sum at our usual venue, The Bright Pearl Restaurant, on Spadina in Chinatown.
Our host Wesley was pleased to see so many turnout for his event, including some out of town guests from Grand Rapids Michigan, New York, Arizona and Windsor, Ontario.
It was also the first Dim Sum for our President DJ's partner Arnold, who recently arrived from the Philippines.
The food was good and plentiful as usual, and the owner and staff always treat us well.
These smaller gatherings allow members to get to know one another better in a pleasant setting. Perhaps we'll see you at the next one.

Nine of our members showed up April 20 to bowl at Thorncliffe Bowling. There were spare seats for those who would have needed a ride. The laughter was contagious as many had not bowled in years and the scores showed it. However, everyone had a huge amont of fun.
The event was organized by Rod as his last act as a member of the LYC committee. At the end, before people had changed out of their shoes, our President DJ presented Rod with a thank you card for his service.
As has become the custom following LYC events (even the pot luck), some people go out for coffee or dinner and this was no exception, although there was no requirement that all go and indeed only half those in attendance did so.
This time, despite some people wanting to bowl 5-pin, we agreed to all bowl together using the 10-pin alleys. We were told that in the Maritimes, some people use the 5-pin balls but 10-pins. Many suggested that we rotate and next time bowl 5-pin. Amongst those present, several asked for LYC to have a bowling event again in the future and the committee will certainly take this into account.
As President, I am very happy that so many enjoyed their afternoon, and I look forward to seeing you at the next bowling event.
