I am home from an amazing Swan River Homecoming weekend. I had such a wonderful time visiting with relatives and old school friends. There was so much to do: talent shows, 10km walk, parade, more entertainment, supper, two dances, pancake breakfast, picnic in the park, games, photos, 100 member marching school band, an amazing church service and fireworks, also a golf tournament that I did not attend because we had a mini family reunion.
I was just so excited to see friends from my childhood that I had not seen in over 40+ years. I had more hugs and smiled so much my face was sore. I even had a few dances at the dance but I had got up at 7am and did the 10km walk so I was a wee bit sore for that. The weather was fantastic and all the volunteers and organizers of this homecoming have to be commended on a job well done.
I did not take many photos but my cousin promised to send some to me.
I am now preparing for my Challenge for Life Pink Party
August 23, 2008 from 8pm – 1am
Russell Inn – Yellowhead Room (Highway 16 in Russell, MB).
Everyone may attend and the only requirement is you must wear something PINK. Judy celebrates her birthday on August 24 and has asked for no gifts with all donations to go towards the walk and to CancerCare Manitoba. Admission is $5.00 but all donations above that are greatly accepted. We will have music, dancing, singing, chinese auction, 50/50 draw, food and lots of fun.
Come help Judy celebrate and help her team “J-ANGELS” to meet their fundraising goals. Contact: JUDY PRESTON 773-2961 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
Even if you can't attend, you can still donate to my walk. Just click on the Challenge for Life site on the right hand side or go to www.challengeforlife.ca
It should be alot of fun.
