Today Is Your Day Boomer

Today is your day Boomer ! Actually...tomorrow is for millions of Baby Boomers across America as they go to the polls and vote in the presidential election. Unfortunately, American citizens, like Canadians, don't get too excited about voting....only about 50-60% take the time and effort to vote. To me, this is ridiculous!

Today is your day Boomer! To my Boomer friends and family in the South Okanagan, I cordially invite you to a BIG fundraiser at my former workplace, Summerland Secondary School. It is the new gym...in the works and a big dream of mine for.....well, decades! The sparkling new gym officially opens with a ribbon-cutting ceremony(big wigs and media only) at 10am on November 13.....but the public gets its chance at 6pm the same day! It is a fundraiser for "extras" like basketball hoops on the outside tennis court and a new, enhanced gym sound system! The school committee has already raised over 22,000$ and they want more! Can you help please by attending? Tickets are $20 for a special "smokie" dinner, chips, and a drink.....and you get gym tours, games to watch, a few speeches, a raffle and other fundraisers. It should be a grand night and, hopefully, a full house! This is a big deal for Summerland; we haven't had a new high school gym since 1951! Hope you can
