Last night, Wednesday, March 6th 2019, I spoke at the Brockville Newcomers’ Club monthly meeting. My contact, Gina Taggart-Budde, was readily available during the month leading up to the meeting, so I felt welcomed before I had even arrived at the Brockville Country Club. After a delicious dinner, I was ‘on stage’. Before I started, Gina’s husband Michael had made sure my Powerpoint would run smoothly, and it did. After the presentation, there were questions, then people bought books.

Thank you for making me feel so welcome. Your group is wonderful. No wonder that ‘newcomers’ (several years old) never leave! You’re fortunate to have such an organisation.
