So it has been a while since our last update but it has been quite busy for the past few months.
In June we had a backyard pool party and BBQ to say "see you soon" to one of our members as she was hitting the road and heading for Washington. It was sad to see her go but we are still in regular contact and she will be coming back in a couple of years!! She is missed though (but she recently attended a meeting as a guest which was really nice) :)
In August we all met again for a Mexican Fiesta to kick off the new year. This year we changed the format of our meetings which means we alternate between business and social meetings. Everyone seems to enjoy the social aspect of it and we have done some fun stuff and gotten to know each other a little better as a result. However, with fewer business meetings this also means there has been lots of things to address at each business meeting which makes for a busy agenda! Outside of the regular meetings we have been keeping busy as well - we volunteered at the MS Christmas Party, sold Purdy's chocolates to raise money for the Canadian Mental Health Association and had a Spaghetti dinner sorting party, attended the City Council Christmas Meeting and had a Games Night. Of course Sister Care is doing a wonderful job ensuring that everyone is well taken care of including Christine after the birth of her beautiful baby girl - Congratulations Christine!!! and Aimee after her surgery in December. In addition to all of this we had two members join our chapter this year - we extend a big welcome to Karen and Jeanene!
Well that is it for now...until next time :)
