An Amazing Cure for the Mid-winter blues – for you, your loved ones, and your colleagues!!

CHOCOLATES!!!

 Not only will you enhance the lives of those around you, your fundraising account will also be enhanced!!  There is a strong possibility that “Christmas chocolate consumption guilt syndrome” is no longer haunting the good people of Moncton and their chocolate cravings are no doubt in full swing again. I still have a supply of chocolates waiting to be sold so you can offer a valuable public service to the people around you.  A supply of chocolates always accompanies us to the pool but if you want to make sure you get the chocolates you want, please email us at spurney@rogers.com so we can make sure one of us there during your practice times.

 Thanks!

Sue and Harry Purney
