This year the 'Sarnia White Cane Center' had an 'Open House' and 'Club Dedication' to recognize the founder of the Club, Cliff Seed (VE3CLI) who became a silent key January 20th 2003. Hams from the Sarnia/Lampton County dropped in to say hello & talk to members. Gil Finley (VE3DFU) and Frank Baugh (VE3FBH) were in attendance.During the Open House we had a discussion on how the CNIB Amateur Radio Assoc. and amateur radio as a whole can benefit blind and visually impaired people. The amateur radio station, VE3SWC at the White Cane Center can be used by anyone holding a valid amateur radio license.

have been regular club supporters since the very first Christmas Party
for the Blind Youth Club over 14 years ago,
without Doug and Smiley the Christmas
party would probably never have happened.
