MEETING SCHEDULE:

Next Meeting: Tuesday, January 13, 2026

Starting time: 10 am

St. Stephen’s United Church

150 Village Way, Qualicum Beach

Speaker: Mike Macdonald – Ukelele Teacher
If you are interested in learning a musical instrument, how about a ukulele. They’re small, reasonable, and much easier to learn than a guitar. 
After 2 years of playing Mike, a newcomer, can help with the basics to start you off. 
 
Charity: Brenda Pengelly & Christine Pagan – CFUW
CFUW was previously known as Canadian Federation of University Women and has a chapter serving the Parksville and Qualicum area. They are now an organization open to all women, no matter what their educational background. Since 1984 they have given out $561,000 in scholarships and bursaries to 320 local high grads and mature women. https://cfuwpq.ca/
