"The man who performs good deeds is happy in this world and the next. He is happy in both worlds. He feels happy at the thought: “Good have I done”. He will be the happier when born in a blissful state. (Dhammapadaya, Yamaka Vagga : 18)"

Dear Friends

This year's summer get-together is scheduled to be held on August 09th,
2008 at Blackstrap National Park, Saskatchewan. Please mark your calendar to
attend this fun filled event for you/your kids. We'll give you more
details such as driving direction, programme schedules and items to bring in a
couple of weeks. In the mean time, we'll make a phone call to you
personally to inform what food item/items you are supposed to bring for
the event. If you are planning to invite your friends, please let us know
how many in advance for head counts.

Two things are here in advance to remember;

1. There is $7.00 admission fee for your vehicle for the day

2. Kids can swim in the lake. But it is your sole responsibility
to take care of your kid's safety.

Hope to see you in this event and have some fun.

Thanks
Organizing committee
