SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
These are the social events of RTO/ERO Toronto. We do hope you will be able
to join us for some of our activities and/or help us set up additional ones of
interest. You’ll meet many former colleagues from the TCDSB and TDSB. The
Bridge, Crafts and Travelogue programs meet at St. Margaret’s Anglican Church
(Avenue Road & Burnaby Blvd. one block north of Eglinton with parking one
block west of Avenue Rd. just north of Eglinton on Castleknock Rd.). Call the
Convenors for the location of the other programs. Bring a friend to any of our
events. There is no charge for most of our events aside from third-party fees.

Groups meeting at St. Margaret’s:
Bridge –
John Lane (416.486.0697) invites everyone, including beginners. They
play a friendly game and currently have two to three tables and would be happy
to have a few more. They start at 1:00pm and play the first, third and fifth
Tuesdays of each month starting in October.
Crafts –
The craft group meets with Bernice Iles (416.651.4378) on the fourth
Tuesday of each month at St. Margaret’s. It’s a wonderful social group for
those interested in crafts. We all know how great we made children feel when
they were able to create things with their hands so now we have time to enjoy
crafts for ourselves. Join Bernice and the others for a relaxing productive
time.
Travelogue
– People continue to travel, and Dick and Marilyn Holyer
(416.929.8512 ) intend
once a month to lure you to places you’ve never been or favourite spots to
which you would like to return. Refreshments are always served.

Groups meet at various sites:
Book Club
– Meetings are held on the first Monday of each month from 1:00 - 3:00pm and

– This group attends films usually on the second Monday afternoon of the month
from September to June. Each month a different volunteer selects a movie
starting between 12:00n – 1:00pm followed by coffee and discussion afterwards.
New films start Thursday so members get only a short notice as to the
location, generally on the Saturday or Sunday prior to the viewing. Call

newsletters.
Art/Sketch
