Bill and Sam on zoom had left. 😩
Amanda said Graham helped at the Gilmore breakfast, as they had the week off. They went to Whistler and golfing where she played her best round ever.🏌🏼♂️
Gordon was inspired to see how hobbies can turn into a challenge that helps others. Mental health is so important. Sachin should put in a project application. Gordon noticed that Sachin has the best socks.
Chris M. admires Sachin’s goals; especially as mental health is indeed one of the most challenging ills affecting all of us. She is starting to plan a trip to Scotland where she will walk 100 km, but over the space of a week – not as challenging for sure.
Joyce was inspired. She has had a quiet week at home.
Peachy wasn’t here for our Hallowe’en meeting. Tomorrow is her son’s celebration. Next week she is going to Toronto and Boston.
Danny had friends visiting last week, a pilot and his wife, who were attending their son’s graduation in a master’s in business administration at SFU and a flying school in Seattle. They went to Cirque du Soleil. He is leaving next week for Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, for his collection of larimar gems. He is also going to St. Martin and Santa Lucia.
Bozhena said thank you for inviting such a powerful speaker today. She had a Ukrainian friend who ran daily, a good discipline. She is wishing success for his goal. Together we can do more. She had a busy week working then on Sunday she had her first performance with the Ukrainian choir and is proud of that. She will invite us next time.
Jeannete was at the Pathways dinner on Saturday with dancing. She is having difficulty with registration for her practice outside RGH for the vaccine clinic, and so far, is volunteering.
Lawrence thanks Sachin. With mental health, people may not realize what’s wrong. He threw out his back last week, and you know when it’s a back muscle.
John was at the Gilmore breakfast, and as he put the batter out, his pancakes were all shapes and sizes, terrible. But Jeanette’s, they were all the same size and shape. So, if you need a nurse, she’s meticulous.
Elena says John just ‘passed’ the pancakes test. She says every day she walks in the park at 6 a.m., her goal. She enjoyed the Pathways dinner and the dancing.
Marg broke the record for kids at Hallowe’en. They bought two boxes of candy and had a total of 3 kids, one of whom was only 11 months old, so they are eating lots of candy. The Curling Club fundraiser with Vintage Band was a blast and they danced until 1 a.m. with 120 people. She saw the Seahawks game, which had lots of errors including several passes over the head of the receiver.
Judy is thinking of the woman who was recently murdered in the front yard and who was a friend of Spencer’s. Another friend’s husband died of a heart attack at 48. Debbie M. wanted us to know that Manuel died Thursday morning, after a long valiant struggle. The service will be held on Wednesday, November 13th at 10:00 a.m. at St. Augustine Church - 2028 W. 7th Ave. in Vancouver.
Sandra was at a National Sales meeting this week, and on Monday in the bad weather, the power went out, and everyone was coming to the office, so they had the meeting in her dining room, and she had luckily cleaned up the night before. The last of the meeting was at Quilchena, and some stayed in the Steveston Waterfront Hotel, which is lovely.
Moe will follow Sachin on Instagram, and hopefully can support him as well. He wasn’t here last weekend because of a head cold, and an annoying runny nose. He had the power outage too. His daughter is back from Victoria this weekend.
Garth recorded their Remembrance Day concert, and it will be posted on YouTube and we can log on. They are doing a concert for Heroes on Friday, for 1st Nations, the forgotten warriors.
Bobby met Sachin at Kidsplay and thought he was inspirational. Although Bobby has finished the Toronto half marathon, he is continuing to train and is registered for the Vancouver half marathon. He attended the KPU dinner and the Pathways dinner. He was sitting with Judy, and they had in common that there were a couple of dishes they weren’t going to try. Today is the Soccer with Kidsplay at BC place, the world cup soccer event for kids. He says welcome Lawrence, now an official member, and presented him with his badge.
Debbie T. is wishing Peter well for his surgery. Her own family has had tragedies with mental health, and she knows how exercise of any kind can pull you out of depression. She suggests that Sachin submit a project application. She had an almost-tragedy with Finley, her non-neutered sheepdog, who is always sticking his nose up other butts at dog park, and she sometimes has to rescue him, at her peril. She thought it was time for him to be neutered, so took him to the vet for the operation, but the dog stopped breathing on the table during the anesthetic, but the vet got him back and he’s ok but will never be neutered.
