August 2002 Only four members were able to take the summer trip. Irene, Cindy, Eleanor W and Hazel went to Oftawa with Eleanor as driver. They enjoyed a guided tour on the Rideau Canal viewing the Parliament Buildings, Museum of Civilization, Nepean Point, Nationa!l Gallery of Canada, Supreme Court, Royal Canadian Mint, Prime Minister‘s Residence, RCMP Musical Ride Visitor‘s Centre and other spots of interest. They watched boats go through the tlocks, shopped and dined out after a tour driving around the same spots. It was a very enjoyable day. September 2002 Topic: Education.
