The new version of Senior Lunch and Learn, now known as From Surviving to Thriving (FS2T) will start up for the year on Tuesday, September 29th, beginning at 11:30 a.m.  Our new location, (thanks to the generous spirit of St. Matthew's) , will be at St. Matthew's Anglican Church, 2010 Guilford Drive, Abbotsford.  (Just off Marshall Road).    There is ample parking at this location and ground level entry -- no stairs to contend with!  Come in the main front doors.   St. Matthew's has tables set up in their sanctuary.  This is where they host food events in their church.  
Do you have an orange shirt?  If so, please wear it.  If not, you should not stress over this detail.  We will be hosting Elder Jean Wassegijig as our guest speaker.  Elder Jean  is Anishinabekwew of the Odawa and Ojibway Nations in northern Ontario.  She now resides in Langley,  She has had a career working in Corrections in Saskatchewan and British Columbia.    She has joined our group several times before and we welcome her back to learn more from her.   The theme will centre around Truth and Reconciliation Day, which occurs on September 30th.  Join us as we work to create the right relationships with our indigenous communities.  Elder Jean will read from her recently published book, My Voice, and provide more teaching and information on Truth and Reconciliation Day. 
The menu for the day is fried chicken from Mary Brown's and salads and a blueberry dessert.
