Moving on

Times Contributor     

 

After 10 years of service to the Happy Gang, Eric and Ethel Nielsen are moving to Calgary to take up residence at the Rocky Ridge Manor in Ranchlands. 

“The time had come for a different living situation. If we could have found something that would have fit our needs, we would not have left Strathmore,” said Nielsen.

The Nielsens moved to Strathmore in 2003 and Eric became the Happy Gang Vice President in 2004. Both Eric and Ethel were active in the group. Eric served as President, Treasurer and Handi-bus representative. Ethel contributed her creative skills and cooking skills to the many group events.

The Nielsens have four children, two living in Calgary, one in Chestermere and one in Morinville, Alta.

The impressive potluck dinner ended in a toast from the membership.

“Eric and Ethel, thanks for your dedicated service on behalf of our Association, if you were not here, I’m not sure we would be where we are today.”
