Halton Chapter is delighted with the growing attendance at our monthly Milton meetings and our pre-Christmas social evening held at the Milton Senior Activity Centre on Wednesday November 14th was no exception. Over 40 members and their friends enjoyed a lively evening of good food, entertainment and socializing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Superb refreshments were provided by Chartwell Classic of Oakville. Over the fall, Chartwell has become a great supporter of CARP Halton Chapter.  Their creative Chef, Anna,  prepared a sampling of exceptional food that was enjoyed by all, including our surprise guest – SANTA.
