Grazie to KCIC members Jason & Rosy Agostino of Mervyn’s The Body Shop who hosted the May 13 Spring Social.  

Guests were treated to a beautiful buffet dinner at the Clubhouse on Friday, May 13.  It was a great opportunity to open the doors for the first time to an evening event.  Guests enjoyed visiting old friends and making new ones!  We hope to continue to host more social evenings in the future. 

​KCIC members who may be interested in organizing or hosting a monthly social are asked to please contact President Rosann Nanci for more information [email protected].

Our second Pasta Take Out event on May 6 was well received and allowed us to donate $200.00 to the Central Okanagan Family HUB. This much needed facility provides information, support, navigation, and outreach drop-in services for families.  

In addition, we delivered 25 hot pasta Take Out meals to the residents of JoeAnna’s House.  JoeAnna’s House provides accommodations for out-of-town families with loved ones receiving care at KGH.
​ 
Grazie to our cooks Josie and Ricardo, the kitchen staff and the servers who helped with both Take Out events!
