OUR YEAR

This has been a very busy year for us. We had quite a few young people join our class. Some stayed and others found work or had transportation problems which meant they had to quit. We did up the Christmas treat bags as usual. We went to Frenchy's on a field trip. You will see the reviews and pictures in this yearbook. We had a guest speaker come in to talk about anger management. The students even brought friends in for the session. Peter made a delicious cake for us the day the ladies from HRD came to visit. Antonija brought in goodies to tempt us throughout the year. Joesph became our official cake maker. Boy, does he ever do a great chocolate cake! He made one for each of the ladies in the class this year. On our last day of class we each received a rose compliments of Driftwood Cove Flowers and Gifts. A very nice end to our year.

On the whole I think the students really got a lot accomplished this year. We were all on the computer and many have their own at home so their writing looked very professional. They didn't like the camera showing up but then again we had some bad luck and had to retake a lot of pictures. Some of the class were also very involved in our fundraising and putting the yearbook together. To them my heart felt gratitude. It made the load a lot lighter.

We had a few rough moments while we waited for funding. We got none until Christmas so used up everything we had been saving. The money finally started at Christmas time. Our committee remains the same in composition and enthusiasm. Bob Hall, Janice Legere, Emma Cormier, and Val Goodwin have all continued to do their best for us. Our gratitude to them and our other friends and sponsors. What a difference their support makes! Without this support we and the programme would suffer.
