Walk for Alzheimer’s
16 August 2019:
Hello Friends,
As some of you may already know, Muriel was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. For the past several months, I have been attending Information Sessions and Workshops provided by the Alzheimer’s Society – Cornwall & District and on the 14th of September 2019, I will be participating in a ‘Walk for Alzheimer’s’ being held at the Rockland Manor in Rockland, ON. The need for fund-raising for the support and care for individuals with dementia has never been greater than it is at this time. There are 747,000 Canadians with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia and this number is sharply rising. All of the money that is raised will directly support local programs and services that work to effectively alleviate the personal and social consequences of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias within our community.
I am respectfully requesting a donation, so please donate whatever you can through the secure online donation at: http://bit.ly/TeamKONNEKT. You can click on my name listed as one of the members of Team KONNEKT
Thank you so much for your very much appreciated support.

Beechwood Annual Memorial Service
28 August 2019:
There is going to be an Annual Memorial Service on Sunday, 29 September 2019, at 3:00PM, in the Sacred Space of the Beechwood National Memorial Centre, 280 Beechwood Avenue. As you know, quite a few of our SUPRAD friends and family members are buried in the National Military Cemetery of the Canadian Forces. Also, there is a large number who have made funeral pre-planning arrangements at Beechwood. This morning, I spoke with Ms. Maryse Lapalme / Funeral Director & Certified Pre-Planning Specialist, to ask her if it would be OK to invite the members of our SUPRAD Oldtimers Association to attend this Memorial Service. She said Beechwood would be delighted to have interested members attend. For planning purposes, she asked that I give her a head count for how many would be attending. So, if you are interested in attending this service, please let me know either by phone: 613 875-2125 (cell) or by e-mail: raylebeau@sympatico.ca
The Canadian Forces Supplementary Radio (SUPRAD) System Oldtimers Association schedules an Annual Service of Remembrance every June month at the old site of HMCS Gloucester. This Memorial Service at Beechwood, 29 September 2019, would provide one more opportunity for us to remember our departed friends and family members.
For all those who are interested in attending this Beechwood Annual Memorial Service, there will be refreshments served after the service.
