"I would like to thank you for the wonderful variety of trips that we go on, and interesting speakers at our meetings. As a newcomer to Parksville and a recent widow, attending the Seniors Connecting events and outings has made a significant change in my wellbeing and knowledge of this community." ~ A Seniors Connecting participant
