Once again your CARP Halton Chapter volunteers have organised a Social evening for your enjoyment as we look forward to the Holiday season. As many of you will already know we are now holding our regular monthly meetings in both Milton and Burlington. We are therefore planning a Social evening at both locations.

Our Social evening in Burlington will be held on Tuesday November 27th from 6.30pm to 9.00pm at the Burlington Seniors Centre, 2285 New Street, Burlington
Please come and join us, meet your Chapter volunteers and fellow members and their friends. Share in an evening of fun and entertainment. Enjoy the light hearted presentations that will give you interesting ideas for the Holiday Season.
These Social evenings at both locations are for all CARP members and their friends. If you are not able to join us at one location please consider joining us at the other.
There will be a small charge of $5.00 which includes a ticket to win one of the several door prizes donated by local merchants. Please also bring a non-perishable food itemwhich will be donated to the Salvation Army’s Food Bank.
Doors will open at both locations at 6.30pm. Our Social Evening will begin at 7.00pm and end at 9.00pm
