The Wing Ding is published monthly.
The opinions expressed are those
of the editor and contributors and
in no way reflect opinions of the Air
Force Association of Canada or of
the 404 K-W Wing, who jointly and
separately assume no liability.
On New Year’s Day and throughout the year
may the kindness you’ve given to others
return many times to you. Happy New Year!
Our guest speaker at the December 4th
meeting provided insight into the new
transit system (ION) coming soon to our
twin cities and the maintenance building
being constructed next door to the Wing;
our members asked pertinent and great
questions. December was a happy and
busy month at the Wing. It was great to
see members bustling about the Wing and
to hear the hum of voices as they enjoyed a
good meal and the company of others at all
the special Christmas events and activities.
There was one exception, we had a small
break-in; there were minimal losses and
fortunately no major damage was done, but
it is unsettling; the City of Waterloo staff
were a great support and speedily fixed
the roof. Congratulations to the Ladies
Auxiliary on a most successful Cookie Walk
and breakfast.
Donna Kuehl
Some special thank you notes:
·to the cooks, crew and other
helpers for a wonderful
Christmas dinner and
social evening; and to the
entertainer for his musical
contributions to this festive
event
·to the Ladies Auxiliary
for once again sponsoring
a delicious and free luncheon on the Friday
before Christmas.
·to the Wednesday night Jammers who add a
special zing to the Wing every week.
·To all the volunteers who help at events and
the sundry other things that need to be done to
keep the Wing healthy and vibrant.
The first six months of this fiscal year have
flown by. As we move into the winter months,
we continue to need your support and
participation. Making resolutions is a big topic
this time of year – let’s make a couple for the
Wing - come out to the Wing more often and
BRING YOUR FRIENDS! See you at the Wing!

LADIES AUXILIARY
By the time you read this message, Christmas will
be past. I hope everyone had a happy and safe
holiday.
The Ladies Auxiliary’s Cookie Walk and Breakfast
was a success again this year.
That and the Gourmet Basket ticket sales totalled
$1517. (the cookies were sold out in one and one
half hours). Thanks to everyone who baked or
bought cookies, cooked and served breakfast, and
sold tickets on the Gourmet basket, or helped in any
way.
Many hands make lighter work.
The winner of the Gourmet basket was Mary
Cybulski, (aunt of Brenda Bennett).
2nd prize was won by Gerth Daub and 3rd prize,
Michelle Leschak.

The Ladies Christmas Dinner was catered by
Kennedys, and served by five handsome and
competent men. HARVEY FRY, VIC SNOWDEN,
LARRY ALLENSON, TOM STAMP and Santa
Clause (KEITH NORRIS), and our bar keeper
GARRY KUEHL. The dinner was enjoyed by all.
Thanks to the generosity of all the Ladies we were
able to donate 84 pounds of food to the food bank as
well as $250. to the Salvation Army Angel Tree.
Friday Lunches will start again on January 9th, 2015.
Our next regular meeting will be on January 21st.
Mark your calendars for APRIL 22nd for our annual
CARD PARTY. We had to change the date from the
3rd Wednesday to the 4th Wednesday as the City
needed the room.
More on that in future bulletins.
