Three decades of Progress history celebrated in Halifax
On January 16th the Halifax Progress Club hosted a dinner for Associate Members at the Ashburn Golf Club.  Sixty-two Associate Members, including nine Charter Members and thirty-seven Active Members feasted on a hip of beef buffet.  In attendance that night were Past-National Presidents Paul Hoganson and Jack Yablon and Hall of Fame Members Laddie Farquhar and Ken Mounce. Representing National was President-Elect C.J.MacMullin.

The purpose of the dinner was to reconnect, recognize and thank past members for their contribution and assistance over the years to the Halifax Club.  They represent the Living History of the Club and as such provide valuable linkage to the past.  The Club also celebrated its 37th year in the family of Progress!
