A great starting place for those who have never been involved is our Monthly Socials. Hosted by volunteer leaders, you can learn about the organization, meet some people and have a coffee and snack. Socials are Tuesdays from 1:30 to 2:30pm. Victoria hosts on August 20th and Saanich hosts on August 27th. Cost is only $2.
During August the Centres have a number of one time experiences to entertain and inspire.
Tuesday, August 6th Saanich is showing the Documentary Searching for Sugarman from 1:00 to 3:00pm. On the same day and time the Victoria Centre offers a facilitated presentation of the Opera Madame Butterfly.
