Wew! Just finished stuffing 969 envelopes that will be sent to all the hunt camps and outfitters that we could find across the country.

Below is a picture of the work party that helped with that task last night. Things went very smoothly and efficiently. "Many hands make light work!" It only took us 2 hours to complete this task and we all enjoyed it at the same time! There's something about work parties and the socializing afterwards that make them memorable in a positive way.

A special thank you is in order for everyone who helped out in this work party:

Grace Trist hosted this event. Grace is 82 years old and she's still sharp as a tack. I will name the crew as they are sitting around the table(s) from the left: Gale Barton, Adrian Chase, Lynn Norris, Garnet Trist, Jen Redbourne (standing in center), Gary Yuenke, Marti-Anne Hawkeness, Grace Trist, Earla Hawkeness, Donna Montague.

Louise Hawkeness couldn't make it but she did the bulk of the organizing for getting this meeting together. And yes, I helped too. I got to lick the envelopes to seal them shut. I cheated and used a sponge. :-)

It's great to have friends and neighbours like this. Not only are they part of our support team to help get much needed work done, they are also a huge moral booster for Donna and I!
