Wonderful is the word of the day...

Our Executive Director, Leila Francis is enjoying a well-deserved holiday this month, and it seems that I have been busy in her absence--or at least that is the excuse I am using for not blogging in the past week.

Our Urban Agriculture Coordinator, Fran Markewich has been working on an Adopt the Park program proposal for tendering to the public to ensure that the strides that were made in the Art Park last summer with the assistance of Bank of America donations and volunteer efforts continue as we look forward to the next season in our Park (aren't we all looking forward to some plus temperatures given the weather the past few days?).

Our Special Events Coordinator, Kierin Gorlitz has been working the telephone lines and even knocking on doors on these cold December days to ensure that sponsorship is secured for the upcoming Trek to Tomorrow fundraising, Heritage awareness event. Too soon to be doing so for a May 1st event? Not so! We want to use those wonderful sponsors that are jumping on board now to entice even more wonderful sponsors to do so! If you would like more information on this family friendly event, just give us a call @ 757-9952 or contact the co-chair of our fundraising group The Yellow Rose Brigade @ 789-0317 (Shelley Merk).

I feel horribly bad that one of our supporters, KoKo Patisserie didn't get their article to us for the most recent edition of Heritage Happenings. The manager Kevin attempted at least twice to send it here, but it is still floating in the twilight zone somewhere! In any event, stop by and pick up some of their wonderful desserts or the delectable bread, all calorie free of course!

And the latest update-Thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Regina who invited me to be their guest speaker at their luncheon meeting yesterday. It was an honour to have the opportunity to brag about the Heritage community to such a wonderful group of community minded gentlemen.

In reading over this, it seems "wonderful" is the word of the day! Stay tuned for some wonderful news TBA very soon from the Heritage Community Association...

Stay warm,
Marci
