A Mid-Year Update!

Well, we've been a busy crew this year so far! Hard to believe it's almost Christmas again...

Our Murder Mystery night had to be postponed, but the group that was available that evening had dinner at Boston Pizza and rented a movie.

We sold Purdy's Christmas chocolate assortments to our various friends and coworkers, with a portion of the proceeds going towards the Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada. We took last Friday night to have a potluck spaghetti dinner at Laura's house and sorted the orders when dinner was finished.

On Sunday, December 2nd, five of us volunteered at the 2007 annual Multiple Sclerosis Christmas Party. It was held at Lakeside Gardens, and this is the 27th year that Beta Sigma Phi has organized the event, all thanks to the hard work and dedication of Helen Barnard. We helped serve sandwiches, cheese and crackers, fruit, and dessert, then when Santa arrived, we helped him spread the joy and pass out Christmas gifts. Each year, every Ottawa BSP chapter donates $30 towards the MS Christmas Party, and Helen uses the funds to purchase assorted Christmas gifts for MS patients. It was so nice to be a part of such a great cause and fun event. We even got our picture taken with CJOH's own J.J. Clarke!

Coming soon, we'll ring in the Chinese New Year and find out "who dunnit" at our Murder Mystery evening!!
