Chapter
Activities
Welcome
to our chapter activities page! We have a lot of activities
to offer our membership on an ongoing basis. Below is a brief
description of the regular activities we have available.
At times, a unique activity sneaks it's way into the agenda
such as shopping trips to The Devonshire Mall at Christmas,
A Night at the Theatre, Fun Nights at the Chapter Office,
etc. You can contact the office to inquire of upcoming unique
events or better yet, make a point to checkout our quarterly
(February, May, September & November) Chapter Newsletters
which can be found in our site.
-
"PARENT
SUPPORT GROUP" - This is a new support group
we are offering to all membership with children up
to the age of 16 years. It convenes the last
Tuesday of the month with a Summer break
during July and August. The meetings will be held
in the mornings in an open forum
format. If interested in attending, please contact DoraLee
Bugeja, the Parent Support Group meeting Facilitator,

"AN
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE" Support Group Meeting -
Kim Dunmore-Laporte, RN, Director of Education
will be the facilitator of our "NEW" Support
Group called, “An Attitude of
Gratitude”. This new
support group started in early January of 2008. It will follow the 2nd
& last Tuesday of every month from 7pm - 9pm. Some
of you already know Kim from her education presentations
and hopefully some of you will get to know her
if you don’t already! Kim is more than
qualified as she not only has the medical experience
but she has been a support group facilator for
10 years in the past! This support group is for
both the newly diagnosed as well as those who have
been diagnosed for years. Kim is looking
forward to meeting, sharing and leading this group. Again
this and any of our other group meetings are held
in strict confidence unless you give your permission
if outside intervention is needed. Please
call the office at (519) 977-0401 for more information.
"DAY
AWAY PROGRAM" - This is a program held every
other Wednesday (September through to June) where
it gives the chapter membership an opportunity to meet
with other chapter membersfor the day, for a nice lunch,
to get a manicure, to have their hair cut, to have
a healing touch session and to even venture out of
the office on occassion for a day trip!
-
"AGM" Annual General Meeting - This is
held towards the end of May each year when there are chapter elections to fill Board Positions. With our Year changing from August 31st to December 31st, it's much easier to present Annual Financial Reports as our fiscal year co-insides with the Calendar Year! The meeting is concluded
with a delicious luncheon
and refreshments.
-
"ANNUAL WINTERFEST " - This is held in December and combines the fun of our chapter picnics and children's Christmas Parties in the past!. It is a fun day
for the whole family which includes some kind of Entertainment, a Light Lunch & Refreshments. Our 1st Winterfest was held in December of 2010 with an Adult/Children's Magician and a light Lunch. It was received very well by all and everyone had a fantastic time! Fun is had by all!
This
is just a sample of scheduled chapter activities throughout
the year. We do have other unique activities that are conducted
and are announced in our local chapter newsletters, as they
are scheduled. You are encouraged to contact us by phone
at (519) 977-0401 or by e-mail.
