The Fireside Chat in November, 2014

Within months of reconnecting, the Co-op at 60 Working Group had, by word of mouth and family connections, gathered over 100 people for their first event, A Fireside Chat.
The event featured an exhibit of photographs of the build donated to the Grimsby Historical Society Archives or collected from families. The co-op daughters provided refreshments. Even those who had moved away joined the local families and their children to renew friendships and discuss plans for the 60th anniversary. With this resounding response from the co-op families at the Fireside Chat, the working group pushed forward.
