The Annual General Meeting was held on the 26th at the Caboto Centre.  The minutes will be given for approval at the next AGM in March 2025.  Lunch was held after the meeting.  After lunch we enjoyed our guest speaker, Ms. Vicki Reissanbolt representing Victoria Life Line.  Vicki is an education facilitator. She stressed that we need to empower ourselves to “Wellness and Aging Well”   Live a healthy life; ensure that one does all to prevent falls and to use tools when needed.   One of the tools is a lifeline.  Victoria Lifeline has been with the Victoria Hospital Foundation for 35 years and is a local non-profit agency.  She distributed information on wellness and aging well.   Door prizes were drawn and thanks to those who contributed especially to the Woodwards.
