Hello again! It was a great summer here in Jamaica, what with celebrations for the 50th Anniversary of Independence and the Olympics. Now we are all back to school, work and whatever routines we all engage in. The CWC's first meeting of the 2012-13 year was held Sept. 11 at the Canadian High Commission and it was full of plans for this year. We formally welcomed our incoming President Mrs. Barbara Matalon, Secretary Kate Chappell, Treasurer Britta Spiring, Outreach Co-ordinator Rachel Yee Chin and Fundraising Co-ordinator Wendy Lee. Plans are now afoot for lots of activities this year. We also celebrated our award from outgoing High Commissioner Steven Hallihan and wife Cathy Hallihan, who presented us with an award for service from the Canadian High Commission. We will miss Steve and Cathy but await the arrival of the new High Commissioner with excitement.
Our next event will be the Thanksgiving Dinner on Oct. 7 at 6 p.m. at Su Nakash's house (6 Carmel Ave.). Tickets are $1,500 for members and $2,000 for non-members and all are welcome. We look forward to a wonderful meal in a beautiful location.
