FFCC will be hosted by Gold Coast (near Brisbane) and Mount Barker (near Adelaide) Australia on two weeks of exchange in March 2017. An extension to Tasmania is also planned for an additional week excursion. Check your calendars and start making arrangements to join us. More information will be coming along shortly. Please contact Gwen White (gwenmwhite@msn.com) for more information or to add you name to the list of ambassadors.

Donna Egan will again host the annual Christmas Boats on the Columbia River at her Vancouver home on Saturday, December 3, 2016. The party starts at 5:30 pm. A winter meal of chili, soup, and cornbread will be provided to the participants by the club. Bring some seasonal goodies if you’d like to add to the festivities. If you desire wine, please bring your own, or bring a bottle to share. No need to bring your plates or utensils, as the club will be hosting the event. Please come and add to the fun of the parade of decorated boats traveling the river. Parade reaches this location about 7pm. RSVP to Mary Dickson at mbdinor@gmail.com before December 1.
