The winners of the week in Grand Cayman will travel with West Jet, who graciously donated a flight for two. Brian Nicholds, a member of London Central Lions Club highlights his experiences flying with West Jet. Recently when returning from Maui, Hawaii, I thought how happy I was to be old enough to have flown when it was enjoyable. VOILA! WestJet is about to be critiqued. At check-in, the first response was “Welcome to WestJet”. Wow, that’s a first. While they cheerfully took our information, baggage, etc., I took a few pictures of the staff. On to Vancouver where after customs, we had to check in again. Surprise! As it was Halloween, a lot of the staff were in costumes and having fun. A few more pictures were taken and then another big “Thank you for flying WestJet”. Wow, another first. From Vancouver to Toronto I talked to our attendants about their feelings about WestJet support of charitable events. They felt it was good to be able to assist. I told them we appreciated their backing in the past. We talked about what it was like for them to be partners with their employers, WestJet. They said it was unlike any other because they are a team, like family. They like to do their best for their customers. I asked to be introduced to the whole crew. They were all enjoying themselves and seemed to care, hence, we enjoyed ourselves as well. Thank you, WestJet staff.

If you like freshly fried yellow perch, then you won’t want to miss London Central Lions’ upcoming Fish Fry and Auction on May 4, 2013. The event is held at the South London Community Centre on Jalna Blvd., London and all proceeds go toward the club’s Fight for Sight project which supports the Ivey Eye Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital.

The London Central Lions Club’s 10th annual Fight for Sight was a sold out roaring success. The doors opened at 5 with the first arrivals ensuring themselves plenty of time to peruse the silent auction tables and to check out the information about the items in the live auction.
