2010-2011 HipHipHURRAY!

What a fabulous evening of joy and love. I truly feel like this was the best Mother Daughter Tea yet... because I think tonight we truly captured what CGIT is really about...

Lasting friendships...

...deep connections...

... calm and compassionate support...

...wonderful women....

Thank you so much for letting us be part of your lives. We are honoured to get to spend the time with you, and are blessed by the friendships we have created together over the years. Thank you for being such amazing women in this crazy confusing world. You are making the world a better place.

We are honoured to have been given such a wonderful gift, not only to us, but to the world, for doing such an easy, and fun job. If you want to check the gift out, click here. It is incredible beyond words.

Thank you.

Mother Daughter Tea!

Hey girls!

Remember to bring your mothers/special guests to the Mother Daughter Tea next Monday, May 16th at 7pm. Don't worry about coming too early, but please be there at 7pm so we can start! :)

Please let us know if you won't be able to attend at the last minute, so that we can fill in our role! :) Remember to send in your pictures to Jen of past CGIT days if you have any, and bring snacks if you signed up to bring them.

Super excited to celebrate with you all in style- I'm glad I just got a new dress! :)

Let us know if you have any questions! :)

Remember...

Good Morning!

I'm finally getting to this, as promised!

Remember to send in your pictures and your blurbs for the powerpoint! ;) Please send them to Jen by email j.lyons@shaw.ca (You can also email me if you missed Monday's meeting and have no idea what I'm talking about!)

Thanks!

Video link

On Monday we talked about the movies "Ruby Bridges" and "A Classroom Divided" as part of our discussion around the International Day to Eliminate Racism. We wanted to show you the videos for "A Classroom Divided" but couldn't due to technical difficulties. =) However, if you would like to watch this very powerful video for yourselves, here is the link:

Accessory Exchange!

Please remember to bring whatever you would like to "trade in" and exchange on Monday for the meeting! Feel free to bring bags, purses, jewelery, clothing, hair accessories, etc. to trade. Spread the word! :)

Golden Rod

Hey girls...

We have been asked to jot down a few sentences about our group for this spring's edition of the Golden Rod. Some of the things they're looking for include: What we have done this year, what we enjoy doing, what you like about CGIT, why it's fun, etc. Feel free to include anything you'd like to say about our group! If you could just post a comment to this blog with your thoughts, I'll collect them together and get them off to the Golden Rod committee. Our Deadline is March 1st.

Thanks! :)

V-day Mani/Pedis!

Its almost Thump Thump Day (get it? Thump, thump? Like a heartbeat?) and that means its Mani/Pedi time for CGIT! We have a HUGE (and I mean HUGE) supply of nail polish but please bring your own nail file for hygenic reasons. Treats of some sort will be there, so come ready to relax and to pamper yourself!

See ya then!
