Month: January 2019

December and January were busy months for BHCL with a lot of exciting events. As such, we had a lot to discuss at our January board meeting. Here are some of the highlights for you:

• We approved two new policies – Honourary Lifetime Membership and Rental Discounts. Thank you to our Rentals Subcommittee for all your hard work!
• Thank you to Sport Central, who donated 13 pairs of skates to our community rink. This allows us to offer free rentals to our community league members. We now have a variety of sizes from 2 through 12. If you have any gently used skates and/or helmets you would like to donate, please drop them off at our rink building.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday, January 12 for the Taste of Romania. It was the first of our new supper series and we were so pleased that tickets sold out for our inaugural event!

We were fed a variety of Romanian delicacies, thanks to N&C Catering. Alongside our food was the option for some Romanian wine. We listened to Romanian music and enjoyed the evening with our neighbours and friends.

Thank you to the members of our community who spoke to us about Romanian culture, history, and food.

Are you interested in our next event? We will start selling tickets for the Taste of Greece on February 20. Please continue to check our website for more information regarding this and other events.
