Dear Editor:
I was somewhat saddened when I read last week in the Osoyoos Times that the Osoyoos Gyro Club was shutting down.
The Osoyoos Lions Club also folded some years ago.
Service clubs are a part of the social fabric of this community. They bring together people of like interest who volunteer to make this community a great place to live.
These volunteers represent a cross-section of people from all walks of life and socio-economic levels. When a service club closes, the community loses.
This community has lost committed volunteers who attempted to make this a great place to live, raise families and retire.
Hopefully, someone will come forward to re-charter one of these clubs in the future.That would be a win for this community.
Ron Leigh
Past President
