A MAY DAY MESSAGE

Greetings of the May:

On behalf of the West Vancouver May Day Society may I extend

to you a hearty welcome on this our 40th Annual Victoria Day Celebration.

Originally the annual celebration of the birthday of Queen

Victoria, May Day today is more than that. Children and adults alike from all

parts of our community welcome the arrival of the Spring Season through varied

sports events, traditional dancing, and the crowning of the May Queen.

I hereby wish to dedicate this very special Day not only to our

1969 Queen of the May, Marilynne Vince, but also to all the children of West

Vancouver.

Sincerely Yours,

John G. Hayes

President

West Vancouver May Day Society
