1. Thanks to the crew that organized and presented last week. Movember...great presentation...YIKES!
a. average life span of men is 6 years less than women
b. 3/4 of suicides are men
c. testicular and prostate cancer on rise
OK...just in case you don't notice I HAVE started to grow a mustache!!
2. And this Thursday, Nov. 10th we are thinking of those having tough times and especially at Christmas.
We raise funds to buy housecoats and fuzzy socks for the 49 Moms at WINGS, the '2nd Stage' Women's Shelter in SE Edmonton.
The Silly Santa Event is your chance to...give these women a little more comfort in their trying times...and offer someone in our Club a gift you got last year and didn't use, and/or perhaps something you'd like to share--sort of a white elephant treasure!
Please wrap it beautifully, and put a poem or brief description on it to entice someone to buy it, even fight for it, through bidding! This will be done by auction, with our talented auctioneer, Elizabeth
Marsh.
3. Reminder, a Regional Change Summit, on the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 15th and all day on the 16th. Paul Born, of the Tamarack Institute, www.tamarackinstitute.ca will be leading a workshop exploring what is essential for creating effective change in a community. Please let me know if you are interested in attending.
4. Public Relations Committee is looking for a couple members who can share being our club photographers. Let Judy Kesanko know if you can help with this.
Thanks.
John
