15 members of our group have just returned from an awesome two week journey to two truly great clubs in Canada. Treated to some special Canadian treats and friendship, we enjoyed traveling to our northern border friends and sharing our North America continent. We wandered the prairie, toured the RCMP facility, and had a great time eating and conversing with our new friends.

FFCC members, potential members, and past members join together to share a meal. We do this nearly once a month and we call this activity<em><strong> TASTE TRAVELERS</strong></em>! It is your opportunity to share a meal, camaraderie, friendship, conversation and get to know others. Take a look at our calendar for dates, times, and places. Or contact any member to learn more about this fun activity. Mary Dickson is our Activities Chairperson and she is always open to ideas of restaurants, cafes, or your favorite meeting place.
