Our guest Speaker Captain Doug Tarrant
Our guest Speaker was remarkable 101 year old Captain Doug Tarrant who quite ably described his first experience while still a young British man entering WWII on September 1, 1939. He further described how he was a part of the evacuation of 300,000 allied solders from Dunkirk. In his closing, he very proudly announced that he is now a Canadian citizen.
Pres. Janice opened the Remembrance Service meeting and welcomed nearly 70 people! The largest contingent was the Grade 5 class from Central Public School, along with many friends of Kiwanis.
This enthusiastic choir sang a song, one of the students read a poem and then they offered a second song, their version of Leonard Cohens' Hallelujah to close. Very moving.
