The Mack Laing Heritage Society of the Comox Valley is pleased to announce that author Richard Mackie will be the guest speaker at its first Annual General Meeting.
The AGM will be held on Saturday, May 16, from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, at the Little Red Church in Comox (across from St. Joe’s Hospital). There will be a short business meeting to read out reports from directors and elect the executive for the coming year.
The business portion of the meeting will be followed by a presentation from Richard Mackie, who wrote the only biography of Mack Laing in 1985. A copy of his book will be auctioned.
Prints of two Brian Scott paintings of Baybrook and Shakesides, Mack Laing’s former homes, will also be for sale, as will art cards of a painting of Baybrook by Comox artist Ruth Dickson.
At 4 pm, following the meeting, a potluck picnic will be held at the home of Kate Panayotof (75 Orchard Park Drive). A walk will be led into Baybrook and Mack Laing parks, weather permitting.
