Duc D'Orleans Seniors' Cruise Is On for June 25.

From Tyler Kula, Sarnia Observer.

Running a free cruise for seniors isn’t much of a stretch for an agency already focused on helping the demographic, and people with disabilities.

So says Bill Yurchuk, CEO of Lambton Elderly Outreach (LEO).

The Plympton-Wyoming-based not-for-profit announced earlier this month it’s carrying on the annual Sarnia Seniors Cruise aboard the Duc d’Orleans II as long-time volunteer organizer Marni Thomas steps away for health reasons.

“I just thought it was something that needs to continue,” said Yurchuk, who said he spoke with Thomas last week and received her blessing to do just that.

It’ll be the 40th year for the cruise that typically carries about 1,000 people along the St. Clair River the last Monday in June.

This year’s is set for June 25, Yurchuk said.

Her education includes a B.A., B.ED., M.ED., C.F.P., N.L.P. and the home inspector’s course as well as having her AZ license for five years. Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
