Birthday party 1

Birthday Party Sept 20, 2024

Members met at the home of our president, Margot Hundt, in Hanover, for a planning meeting. We ended with a birthday party - everyone brought a version of Happy Birthday to share, we sang, played, and laughed. We had a delicious potluck lunch which ended with a homemade birthday cake, that had a candle for each of us!

Sound Bath

SOUND BATH!

Teachers met for a branch meeting in Goderich, and were treated to a Sound Bath - a meditative exercise with live harp accompaniment, led by Harp Therapist Martha Lawrance of Bayfield.

We started with a quick business meeting, then relaxed to beautiful sounds on the harp, and finished with a potluck lunch. Happy summer everyone!
