Chatham-Kent Hospice

💙 The Friends of Chatham Gathering returns for its 7th year on March 7, and everyone is welcome. 💙

Founded by long-time friends Mike Dorner, Howie Morton, and Ray O’Phee, this annual get‑together was created as a way to reconnect on a positive note — not just at funerals or celebrations of life. Now, it’s grown into a warm, community-wide reunion open to Chathamites near and far.

🎶 What to expect:
• A free, friendly gathering at the KBD Club (34 Byng Ave., Chatham)
• Donations collected in support of Chatham-Kent Hospice

Whether you’re reconnecting with old friends or meeting new ones, this event is all about community, memories, and celebrating life together. ❤️

Mark your calendars and spread the word — we hope to see you there!

• Deepen our understanding of community needs
• Enhance the care and support we provide
