The Power of Change

It's amazing what change can do - last week we had our last meeting at Bill's Diner due to the fact that Celine has retired and hence Bill's Diner is closed! So we had to find a new venue. . . . and we did, thanks to a few suggestions (an example of great co-operation) and a bit of leg-work by Martha, we had our first meeting at the Waverly Legion yesterday.

What is amazing about that change (apart from the elbow room we now have) is the we had a full house - every single member of the club turned up for the meeting. Why amazing? It has never happened before. . . the power of change!

Or is due to the fact that it would have been Dee Govang's last meeting - if she had turned up!! Dee has been running back & forth across the country trying to organise her new life/job/house in Victoria BC as well as organise her old life/job/house in Halifax and was so exhausted she didn't make it to brekkie. Good Luck in BC Dee, we'll miss you! There's a lead for Joan - organise a breakfast meeting at Dee's place n Victoria sometime this year - any takers?

Another defector from the club is Angela, who has moved to the Corridor club to take Dana' s place - well it is a little closer to home!! Angela, we will of course miss you too but at least we will be able to drop in to The Laker/Weekly Press office to say Hi and we'll see you at Network events too!

The other side of that biscuit (reference to an old ad on Irish TV for Chocolate digestives - "There are two sides to every biscuit") is that we will officially welcome 2 new members next week - Gord Pye from Investors Group who is filling Dee's place and Joanne from The Weekly Press/Laker who is filling Angela's place.

In addition to welcoming Gord & Joanne, we are pleased to say Welcome to Becky Thompson, Artist, Oxford Oils; Denise MacKenzie, Corporate Sales, Empire Theatres and Angela Clow, Pathologist, Fall River Speech & Language Services.

Please remember feedback is a great communication tool - all feedback (good, bad or indifferent) is welcome, please post a comment or email any of the Executive or Martha with your comments.

See you next week @ The Legion!
