Welcome to the Club July 2022

This FREE magazine is distributed in most of Sarnia-Lambton.
A big sigh of relief
By Mark Moran, Publisher
New to this issue, and so long overdue,
is an events list on page 17. Like most
of you we’re delighted to bask in the
freedom to congregate, listen to live
music, see plays at local theatres, have
lunch with friends, even go to yard
sales. We’ll be continuing with this list
so please let us know well in advance
about upcoming events big or small...
community dinners, craft sales, whatever
it may be. Watch our Facebook page too,
for more up to date information.
As always, we have a selection
of interesting articles in this issue—
some from the archives of Daytripping
Magazine and other that are new.
Remember that you’re welcome to send
articles to us, ideas, more of the silly and/
or poignant fillers you see within our
pages, and just suggestions in general.
Your feedback is appreciated and we
owe a big thank you to the many people
who replied to a questionnaire in our last
issue. This is your magazine to build and
we are eager to hear your advice.
Our cover this time features a photo
of the Duc D’Orleans II by Dan Bellyk...
we had a few great shots to choose from
in this case. The Duc is a local institution,
an icon for people of all ages. I play in
a band on it several times a year and
there’s not a more enjoyable gig.
We’ve also added a section with
opportunities to volunteer on page 22
and the list of local discounts, which was
very popular in our questionnaire, is on
page 15.
Have a wonderful summer and please
take time to notice the advertisers that
make this free magazine possible. We
couldn’t do it without them.
Thanks for reading!
Thanks to everyone who responded to the
Questionnaire in our Spring issue!
Two random people were selected to win the prize of
$100 Sarnia-Lambton Gift Certificates
And the Winners Are...

OPENING REMARKS
Hospital regulations require a wheelchair
for patients being discharged. However, while working
as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already
dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet
who insisted he didn't need my help to leave hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly
let me wheel him to the elevator, still insisting he
didn't need to be taken down in a wheelchair.
On the way down, I asked him if his wife
was meeting him downstairs, and he replied
"I don't know. She's still upstairs in the bathroom
changing out of her hospital gown!"
