GRANDE PRAIRIE WEATHERGRAM PROJECT

After participating in our Grey Nuns Gratitude Weathergrams Project in April, ECS member, Brenda Stouffer proposed a similar idea to her Grande Prairie friends. It received overwhelming interest and she ended up with 20 participants who created 1700 Weathergrams for their local hospital.

 

 

 

 

WEATHERGRAMS PROJECT…ANOTHER ECS ONE!

Heather Luciow, Event Coordinator for GRIT, “a non-profit group which works with young children who have developmental delays or disabilities and helps them access educational programming to support their learning, participation and development for up to three years prior to grade one”, requested some Weathergrams to attach to Thank You Gifts for her staff. www.gritprogram.ca Here are the results:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ECS EXECUTIVE MEETINGS

Our next Executive meeting will be later in June, and we encourage anyone who is interested in observing, to contact us. https://edmontoncalligraphicsociety.ca/contact/ We hope it will give you a taste of what goes on, and the decisions we make, as we plan our ECS year. We have one person who asked to join us and have room for more. As we approach 2022, we need people to step up and agree to be mentored for all executive positions from Jan. to Jun. 2022, then take over in September of 2022.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

As we did last year, we will again be sending a survey with questions for you to answer, along with the slate of officers who have agreed to let their names stand for the various Executive positions. The survey and various attachments should reach you by June 2nd, and we ask that you complete it within 3 days.
