Message from the President

Happy Holidays!

‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’, as they say. The first real snow of the year is just covering the grass as I write. This month will be a busy one for all of us and if you are spending your first holiday season in Edmonton, you’ll find there’s a lot to do and see at this time of year. Be sure to have a look in the ‘Around Town’ section for Christmas/Holiday events around the Edmonton area.

Our own Club activities will be running on an altered schedule, so be sure to check the calendar also. Instead of our 3rd Wednesday evening social, we will have a holiday party on Wednesday, December 5th, hosted by Rhonda's. Dress up and bring a finger food to share. You will have the opportunity to share some holiday spirit with those less fortunate, if you wish, by contributing an item to and participating in our silent auction. All proceeds will be donated to local charities.

In lieu of President’s coffee, I will host a cookie exchange on Wednesday, December 12th. RSVP if possible, but feel free to show up on a whim, too!! (See December Events for details.)

In January, I’m hoping to have a meeting of Conveners, including those who are just thinking about convening. Consider making a New Year’s resolution to convene your favourite activity. In the meantime, I’ll see you at the party!!

Yours in friendship,

Amy Nelson
