Many Thanks to Bruno Bove!
When illness forced Brian Wood to cancel his talk the day before the April General Meeting, Bruno Bove came to our rescue, and did a fantastic presentation on the current range of services which pharmacists can provide. Bruno is the owner of, and chief pharmacist at, the Shoppers Drug Mart in the Sobey’s plaza in West Brant. Our gratitude goes to Bruno for saving the day with grace and humour!

Banquet 2025 Keynote Speaker: Liz Renzetti
As a journalist, columnist and author, Liz Renzetti has been a voice for women for 25 years. In her work at the Globe and Mail she presented a feminist approach to issues. Her book: Shrewd: A Wry and Closely Observed Look at the Lives of Women and Girls was a national bestseller. Her most recent work of non-fiction: What She Said deals with gender inequality and backlash against women. More recently she has collaborated on fiction with Kate Hillman, with their mystery novel Women and Orphans having been just published. Liz is a wife and mother of two teenagers. As CFUW has made support for women its main mission, Liz Renzetti is the ideal person to speak to us on the occasion of our 80th anniversary.
Please note: books will be available for purchase from 5:00 to 5:30 and again after Renzetti’s talk. Thanks to RiversideBookshelf for their assistance in providing books for sale.

Quatrefoil in Dundas: top notch!
Sixteen of the Dining Out Group enjoyed dinner on April 16th at Quatrefoil in Dundas. The ambiance, food, and service were top notch. Of special note were the beef tenderloin, which two people said was the best they had ever had, and the almond financier dessert which we felt was spectacular. Quatrefoil was commended by Michelin, and we can see why. It has an outdoor patio that looks charming and some of us might try it in warmer weather. If you are celebrating a special event and have saved up your allowance, this little gem of a restaurant is well worth the drive to Dundas.
