SOS Mixers for the Middles Updates
The SOS Mixers for the Middles Group have been working hard on planning and holding quarterly events per year. Recently, we held a Ticket to Ride Board Game Night at Railyard Games. It was a success! With many participants aged 22 – 65, whether they were new or experienced players, everyone had a fabulous time.
Our next event will be in the Spring – To be announced. Follow our social media for more details.

XYZ Generations Group Updates
We wanted to provide some updates on our XYZ Generations Adults Group:
- We have changed the name of the group: Mixers for the Middles!
- We hosted a Foraging Tour led by Vancouver Island Tours. The weather turned out perfectly for this amazing forest walk in Coombs, where we learned what to put in our salads (year-round!) what we can pick to eat or drink, and how to make a natural, bubbly juice!
- We aim to hold events for the group quarterly throughout the year.
- We plan to run a Ticket to Ride Game in February 2024.
- If you’re interested in finding out the details for our next quarterly XYZ Generations event, follow our social media pages or sign up for our E-newsletters on our website homepage. www.sosd69.com.
