A special thank you to everyone who joined us and supported our 2009 Centennial Dinner on October 21, 2009. Once again it proved to be a great success. The historical context commemorating the centennial of the setting aside of Quetico as protected wilderness, was both informative and entertaining and our distinguished guest speakers, Joanie and Gary McGuffin captivated us with images and stories from their extensive travels through Quetico and their centennial book, Quetico - Into the Wild. Visit us again in the near future for details regarding our 2010 Annual Dinner.....
