PRESIDENT\u2019S OPENING REMARKS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Despite COVID-19 and the havoc it has played on our 80th Anniversary Gaggling of the Geese, 2021 was a very good year for the Association. We have seen our lifetime membership grow and we were very excited to launch the Molly \u201cMother Goose\u201d Rayner Memorial Scholarship this summer. Our first three recipients were awarded $1,000 scholarships towards their post-secondary education pursuits and the future looks bright for this tremendous endeavour in memory of \u201cMother Goose\u201d. Our 80th Anniversary Gaggling of the Geese is re-scheduled for June 17th and 18th, 2022. Please standby for more information. If you wish to volunteer to help at the event, please email chairman@forfreedom.ca.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
