This is our ‘End-of-Year Luncheon’, the chance to celebrate another great year with the CCB Toronto Visionaries and all the amazing things we’ve done since our 2018-19 season began last September! We’ll be taking a break for the months of July and August, so there will be no Monthly Meetings until we return in September with our 2019-2020 season!
