A New Year, and a New Effort - January meeting

Let's just start with "I'm sorry". Last winter I started this blog, hoping it would be a good tool for our group, and then life got busy, and I dropped the ball. But I'm back, and ready to have another go at it, because I really do want to help this group make a difference. So, help me out here, and keep me up to date on any fund raising or activities that you have going on. People will only read this if there is something interesting to read about!

Our January meeting will be held tomorrow night, January 25th at the Beardsley Fire Hall on main street. (Yes, if you hadn't heard, that means the 2011 Walk Of Hope will be in Beardsley!) Elaine sent out a reminder that there will be envelopes to stuff. I was out of town for the November meeting, but I assume that these are the letters to local businesses, asking for their support. It would be great to have a few extra hands there to help! It's also a great time to suggest any new activities or fund raisers that you might be planning. I think we all would agree that we would like to have things organized a little earlier this year.

Leah Kellen has posted photos of all the teams on our facebook page, and I am going to copy them and post them here for anyone that's not on facebook. If you have any pictures form the 2010 walk that you want to share, please email them to me, and I'll get them posted. (bette@bigstonelake.net)





Hope to see you tomorrow night! Stay warm!
