Gleichen Thank You Dinner - June 24, 2012
 On the afternoon of Sunday June 24th , The Gleichen Community Centre invited about 60 guests to thank them for their continuous support over the past five years. These people have supported us by coming to our events, by giving us their volunteer time in many ways and also by providing us with monetary gifts as both Betty and Dick have. Betty's donation, and that of the other guests attending that dinner, will pay for a ramp , steps and handrails out of the north and south doors of the centre. Dick helped us with a monetary donation that helped to buy a new commercial stove for the kitchen and renovate it also with new cupboards and a large pantry.
Also, a big thank you was given to all the community members who had saved a local store s stickers so that our organization could trade them in and then get mugs and bowls. As a result of this program 102 new mugs were collected and three new bowls. Everyone who came had a great visit with their friends and enjoyed the large banquet of roast pork, ham and turkey, plus all the extras provided for them by the hall board. As has now become our trade mark, the crowd was treated to lots of great tasting homemade desserts. The youth group from the Gleichen Community Church did all the setting up and clean up of the event.
