Film screening invitation
 
We recently received the following message:
 
Hello, by way of introduction my name is Kim Laureen - director of the 'Losing Coach Mac' documentary film project. This is a story about local educator, coach and mentor Bill MacGregor whose bucket of time never emptied for youth. The community is rallying around as he faces his greatest challenge thus far with CTE/Dementia.
 
In theme with Bill's heart for service, I would like to extend an invitation to your club to attend our encore screening on Friday Dec 6th 7pm at Abby Arts Centre. The film celebrates Bill's life and career but also shines light and is a solid resource for others navigating a diagnosis such as this with their loved one. You can find more information on the project at LosingCoachMac.com I would also be happy to share with the club at an upcoming meeting if this resonates.
 
Look forward to connecting. Sincerely, Kim Laureen
