Mother's Day
Hi everyone!
Thanks for helping us raise money for the 2011 Regional Youth Conference!! And thanks for helping us make Mother's day so wonderful!
Anyway I've enclosed the Mother's Day video that was playing today and a slideshow of the pictures from the past two weeks. Just in case you missed it during lunch.
Too bad I missed the main shrine performance though, so I wasn't able to capture it. If any of you have it, leave a note!
Well for now, I guess this is it, once again, thanks for helping out with the carnations and cookies! Many mothers were really happy today. Have a good week!
P.S. A special thank you to
- Elaine Chen and her mom and those who helped to bake the extra cookies
- Nan for bringing everyone together for the great performance
- Thomas Cynthia, Lily, Carmen for the video
-And everyone working behind the scenes making this event a success!

Getting ready for Mother's day Pt.1
We've had a pretty busy weekend!
Some youth came in early to help out with the food serving. I took a peek in the kitchen, and have realized that it really is a lot of work to prepare a single meal for such a large number of people. Just imagine the number of vegetables you need wash, pick, and then chop up, and then the number of dishes you need to wash! If you would like to help out (and learn some good cooking tips too) send an email to us!
And to add a veil of mystery... here's a clue as to what we are doing (1 out of 3 things) for Mother's Day...
Want to join in on the fun? Come by next Saturday (afternoon) and Sunday(morning) to help out!

Canadian Cancer Society Daffodils
You know it's springtime when we start selling daffodils!
Anyway, without getting too wordy, here are some daffodil selling pictures from March 27-28. It was to help raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. I think total we raised about $1700 from selling 200 bundles...some generous people even donated money and didn't take the flowers. : )
Thanks for helping out!!
