Monday April 30th saw a turnout of 15 men to the barbeque at Swan Lake. The sun came out just for us. It was good to meet everyone as well as some new members.

Starting out the Vernon British Columbia chapter of Men's Shed saw a good turnout at our first meeting.
If you know anyone that would benefit from the program, let us know (and them). I was surprised by one statistic that said one of the largest age groups for men committing suicide is the 67 year old bracket. As Red Green always says "We're in this together".
Lastly look at the projects page. There's some exciting things coming up.
