Meet Laurie Wilson at 9:15 a.m. at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney (adds 12K to the day's total) or 9:45 a.m. at the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal. 10:25 a.m. ferry to Galiano Island arrives at Noon. Grocery store at ferry if needed.
Please contact Laurie (vacationlauren@gmail.com) to let her know if you will be starting at Mary Winspear Centre or meeting at the ferry terminal.
In addition, we have decided because there are so many of us and just a few of the Galiano Gogos that we will give them $10 from each of us as a donation for the potluck dinner, kind of like we do with the groups that feed us on the Campbell River ride. Then it is a fundraiser for them as well.
Please give Laurie $10 cash by 10:30 Tuesday, or e-transfer $10 to vacationlauren@gmail.com.
