60th Anniversary Celebration
60 years and counting! In May 2018, the Kiwanis Club of Lakeshore Montreal celebrated its anniversary by hosting a gala evening commemorating its 60 years of service in our communities.
Induction of New Members
Held at the prestigious Beaconsfield Golf Club, the evening gathered Kiwanians and many important members of the community together for an evening of dinner, dancing, and fun!
President Christian Aubert directed the evening’s proceedings and Immediate Past Governor Phil Rossy shared the podium for several items on the agenda, including the surprise induction of several new members to the club: Gilles Talbot, Sylvie DeRepentigny, and Jag Narasimhadevara. He also proudly introduced the recipients of the evening’s chief honour, calling long-standing members Jacques Dubuc and Peter Bedard to the stage to recognize their respective 60 and 55 years of service. Truly remarkable accomplishments!
The night would not be complete without a trip down memory lane, with a corner of the room dedicated to photos, news clippings and other artifacts from the club’s past.
It truly was a night to remember.
Peter Bedard Honoured
