We enjoyed seeing Alyson with Chesney, Sue, Karen and Robert with Roxy, Jock with Hunter, Sue and Lisa with Maggie, Doug, during our walk. We stopped in at the Rotary Interpretive Centre Gift Shop for a nice visit with Muriel, Della and Bonnie. This was Muriel's last shift at the Rotary Interpretive Centre Gift Shop, we want to say we have really appreciated all the work she has put into volunteering at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve. We will miss seeing her in the Rotary Interpretive Centre Gift Shop.
