“The Value of Acquaintance — Collateral Goodness”
Roy Gorewich, rest his soul, was a founding member of our club. He and his lovely wife Elsie were instrumental in shaping our club’s distinctive character.
The Gorewich’s were the original hosts of the annual garage sale fundraiser — which evolved into the annual silent auction gala that continues today. In its original form, it was hosted at the Gorewich’s farm. It was a loved event that was attended by many over the years.
The character of our club is defined by our members. It is a unique club full of many unique personalities who come together to support the greater good. We may not always agree, but we always support each other. That is what family does. Those are the values that our founding members — like the Gorewich’s — have bestowed upon us.
We honour Roy and Elsie’s memory at our club by living those values. Roy passed in 2014 and Elsie passed recently in March 2016. Until she passed, a member of our Club visited Elsie on a regular basis. That is what this Club does — connects you with people you may otherwise never have known.
Our founding members who have passed on are never forgotten in the spirit of our meetings. And neither is their legacy.
