Remember Wyn McAra |
Fellow Optimists,
It is with a lot of sadness that I must advise you that Wyn McAra passed away on March 27th at the age of 94.
Wyn
has served as guiding light in Optimists International for decades,
giving of her time and talent to many projects including helping with
blind and hard of sight members in the Brailtone Club, and spearheading
many public speaking competitions including serving several years as the
District Chair for the Communication Contest for the Deaf and Hard of
Hearing (CCDHH). Just think of how many kids have been helped by her
efforts over the years.
Wyn
always had a smile and a kind word for her friends, always generous
with her time and her talent. She will be remembered as a lady of
warmth and grace and a sense of purpose to help make the world a better
place for youth.
I have been advised by Wyn's family that the funeral services will take place at 11AM, on Saturday Morning April 4th/15 in Highlands United Church 11305 - 64 Street, there will be a light lunch and refreshments downstairs following the service.
Please forward this to all who might have known Wyn.
Sincerely,
Keivin Wallace
Past Governor
