Provincial Regulation Update

The B.C. Government recently announced a relaxation of restrictions related to COVID 19. Masks are not longer required in public indoor settings, although individual businesses and event

organizers may choose to continue requiring masks.   If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask at our events, please continue to do so.  

  



 KNC Members' Meetings

     An enthused crowd of KNC members were in attendance for our final general meeting on Thursday, May 19th.     Bob Hayes from the Kelowna Historical Society had an outstanding collection of notes and stories about the history of Kelowna and the Okanagan.   In addition,  KNA President Ann Hancock and Membership Director Ken Forth were on hand to answer questions and outline what KNA offers to graduating KNC members.

        Our thanks to Brenda Christopherson, our outgoing Director of Meetings, for lining up such a great selection of speakers and wine and cheese samples over the past 9 months.

         Our next get together will be the AGM on Thursday, June 16th at the Lutheran Church.   More details to come and we hope you can join us.
