Chilliwack, British Columbia

Day 12 – Saturday

Lunch With Friends

Evening Banquet

 

 

We were blessed to have lunch with Wayne & Amy Dueckman who live in nearby Abbottsford.  We met them in the 80s when both served with Mennonite Central Committee in Akron, PA. 

That was fun!  Thanks for taking time to come to Chilliwack.

 

 

We got to see some mountain tops today!

 

 

Chilliwack is surrounded by mountains.

Evening fund-raiser Banquet for TFC in the Chilliwack Area

 

Ted Willms and TFC President & CEO Scott Weidner

Ted was part of TFC when we became acquainted with the ministry in the late 60s. 

(Don Hollinger, if you read this, tell Dick Weaver that Ted said, “Hi.”)

 

 

The Alliance Church and TFC volunteers prepared a delicious buffet-style meal.

 

 

I understand that there were 340-plus people in attendance.

The Evergreen State Quartet were fabulous.  I wish they lived on the east coast.
