Beeton as she brought her Book of Household Management to life. I want to give a special thanks to Dr.

2 The sun is shining our patio is open we live in Victoria and we are members of the University Club really, it cannot get much better than this! I want to begin this month by highlighting a marvelous Club event in May. Many of us stepped back in time (150 years!) on May 23rd with Mrs. Beeton as she brought her Book of Household Management to life. I want to give a special thanks to Dr. Marcus Milwright (for such a great concept and for being our guide as we stepped back in time) and to Keshia Palm (the charming and talented actress who so vividly gave us Mrs. Beeton). Also thanks to Candace Vandemark of Red Rooster Winery and our marvelous culinary and service team who ensured that the dinner was something special to remember. (I also got to dress up what fun!) As I mentioned earlier our Club patio is now open. So once again we have a wonderful spot to enjoy Fridays in the summer. Our barbeque will be fired up for both lunch and dinner TGIF. By the way, I noticed that our ducks have been practicing recently so they should be ready to put on a continuous show in the pond this summer. The new pond volcano fountain with a colour ring is expected to be installed for mid June. Be sure to check out the new menus at the Club... There are some great new culinary delights. Remember to check out the newsletter for the great lineup of entertainment for the June Jazzfest. There is a great variety of talented musical entertainment and on June 13th we feature our Lobsterfest. What else is coming up * Watch for the British Invasion of our patio on July 11th. The Band Backbeat will bring back those words that began in the 60 s Yeah, yeah, yeah and Love me Do from you know who as well as those Canadian hits These Eyes and Laughing from the Guess Who! They have a broad repertoire so warming up your dancing shoes and reserve your spots. Check out The Weekly Events page and the remainder of this newsletter for more details about these and other events. ******Special Events ****** June Jazzfest Every Saturday in June ********************************* As always till next time see you at the Club!
