| The
Victoria Chapter is
celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2010 and to kick off its 50th year,
a special New Year's Day Run was planned. It started at the
usual place (Pacific Forestry Centre on West Burnside Road), where
members were presented with their own copy of the 50th Anniversary
Calendar; created and assembled by Bill Bouchard, Paul and Liz
Taylor. |  |
| Run
organizer Brent Morrison added several new twists to the traditional
"round the waterfront" drive, leading everyone from the meeting
place to the Reception Centre at McCall Bros. Funeral Home
for
refreshments. Two special anniversary cakes were served, in
addition to donuts and coffee and tea. The Up-Island chapters
had been invited to join the party and several members of the Cowichan
Chapter made the journey to Victoria. 33 local members and their
families participated. 18 vintage cars were brought out for this event. |  |

Thanks to Brent
Morrison for looking after the donuts and for organizing the run and
providing some very interesting historical facts about Victoria fifty
years ago. Thanks to Joan Huddleston for arranging for the
wonderful anniversary cakes, and to Paul Taylor and McCall Bros. for
the use of the facility. |
