Announcements and Upcoming Events
Posted on Sep 10, 2020
Perhaps the most important announcement was that Dean had an extra glass of wine in front of him and wanted to know who owned it.  He got a free glass of wine!
 
Mike T gave an update on the Roses campaign - while we are selling less than last year, the numbers are still pretty good.  Flowers are on sales through Sunday (yourroses.ca).  we are also accepting cash donations which does not end on Sunday.
 
Rena let us know that Sunday is another gardening day at the Coping center from 8 to noon.  Come for as long as you can
 
Heidi & Brian talked about boosting out Facebook presence, but I couldn't here much on Zoom unfortunately

Program
Posted by Keith Peers on Sep 10, 2020
Ivana introduced our speakers, Anne Jenner and Tim Frey from the CMHA, Waterloo Wellington.
 
Anne and Tim gave us a presentation on employment services for individuals with disabilities.
 
It was a very informative presentation on the challenges and rewards of employing those with disabilities.  While I did take a bunch of notes, I also got their presentation which is attached to this bulletin as a link at the bottom (thank Mike Thomas), so you can read their words, not mine.
 
However, they did leave us with a few thoughts, one of which I particularly liked:
 
Look at someone's ABILITIES, not their disabilities
 
Jim Mc thanked the speakers and the meeting adjourned at 1:43
