Things are really coming together now. Our volunteers are coming forward and working really hard! Our office is set up. We've been receiving lots of invitations and are having a great time at all sorts of fun events!

Today we had lots of variety. We went to the Norberry/Glenlee Giant Garage Sale and had a great time meeting and chatting to people and shopping for goodies. I bought some delicious baking for our hungry volunteers and I know they appreciated it!

I was pouring tea for the St. Vital Historical Society this afternoon. What a delightful group of people! President John Dempster, Vice-President Audry Wilford and Treasurer Lorna Miner were very gracious. They invited virtually all candidates from all ridings in proximity of the St. Vital United Church and most of us came! I took over from Gord Steeves and poured tea with Ray Simard. Also at the tea was Grant Cooper, Old St. Vital PC Candidate. The photo at left shows me with the twin cadets that volunteered all afternoon to serve. They were terrific!

The day ended beautifully with the 83rd Annual Winnipeg Police Association Charity Ball at the Canad Inns Polo Park. It was a wonderful event with delicious food, terrific MC's, wonderful speakers, fabulous entertainment by the Winnipeg Police Pipe Band and great dancing with the lively music of Free Ride. The two photos below show me with Inspector Boyd Campbell, Minister Vic Toews and Acting Deputy Mayor Gord Steeves followed by Ed Humphries, Vice President and Lorne Schenkel, President of the Winnipeg Police Association. A great time was had by all - and I even gained a couple of volunteers - thanks Brad and Cal!
