Hi, Hazel, I am going to email a friend who is a member of the Sask group,
I know they have regular lunch meeting both in Saskatoon and Regina. I was
talking to one of my daughters about getting a Canada wide 'sponsor' - I was
thinking of the Bay, and she suggested Tim Hortons as they are in more small
towns. I also wondered about getting a bank on side for publicity
purposes - not to fund the lunch - and I plan to contact our local Legion.
Food for thought, cheers, Joan
