Editors' Column

Murray & Diane Strome

wmstrome@shaw.ca and dianestrome@shaw.ca

We are very pleased and honoured to be selected as the new editors of Centennial's Roundabout. It will be a very difficult task to live up to the high quality of decades of the newsletter compiled and published by Audrey Farnden. On behalf of the whole Centennial community, we wish to thank her for her fine efforts over the years.

Thanks to Lauren Pashuk, who has prepared the cover, children's page(s) and other artwork. She will be moving to Ontario at the end of September, so we will need someone else with artistic abilities to do this work for us in the future. We will all miss her after she leaves. We hope that you will join us in wishing her every happiness and success, and a safe journey.

We would also like to thank the publishing crew, which has agreed to continue to make it possible to prepare and distribute the Roundabout:

Ernie & Doris Weigel
Robbie McMechan
Vaughn Thompson
Lillian & Steve Clark
Laurina Reid
Judy Rankin
Maude & Gordon Hatch

We would also like to thank all those who send us their contributions. Without you, we would be unable to do our work.

Centennial Social Group

What a lovely afternoon we enjoyed on Sunday, July 7^th at the Centennial Picnic held at the home of Tom and Helen Fisher!!! This was the third year that we have enjoyed their hospitality. The children loved the trampoline. Joe and Betty brought along their "Polish Horse Shoe Pitch", which many played (Lois McGill especially enjoyed the game), while others socialized, and soaked up the peace and quiet.

Thursday, July 25^th was our BEST EVER Golf Day (see next page for photos). Sixteen of us played golf at Ardmore. The winning team was: Don Isner, Ernie Weigel, June Bachman and Norene Thompson with a score of 39. The other three teams were not far behind, with two at 40 and one at 42. Toni and Jack Henderson arranged for the golf and invited us all back to their home for dinner and fellowship. What a perfect day!

And now fall is approaching. Watch the Bulletin for details on the Bowling Night, Saturday September 21^st, the Pot-Luck Dinner and Mind Games on Friday October 25^th, and the Annual Centennial Christmas Dinner on Sunday December 8^th.

E-Mail Directory and RoundAbout on the Web

Do you have an E-mail address? Are you willing to share it with other members of the Centennial Family? If so, please let us know by sending an E-mail to wmstrome@shaw.ca or dianestrome@shaw.ca so that we can compile a list to be included in the next issue of the Roundabout, which will be published in December.

We will be posting the RoundAbout on Centennial's website, beginning with this issue. You will be able to see it at: http://www.cucvictoria.com in September. Also, please let us know if you would prefer to view the web version (it will contain colour photos!) rather than receiving "hard copy". In this case, we would notify you by E-mail when it is available for viewing.
