JANUARY FUN

On January 19 at the dusky hour of 7:00 p.m. we had a wonderful gathering up at the Pavilion!  A group of women at the Gardens gathered to celebrate friends  together.  There was a boisterous song and dance session to vent our winter "blues"as we gathered to watch  MAMA MIA!

Snappy and colorful, at times wild and funny, this was a great opportunity to meet friends and new neighbors...or even Old neighbors!  It wasn't nearly as cold as I expected, either.
We were out in plenty of time to walk or drive home too. 

The first on the floor!

Everyone  brought a chair, blanket and comfort food and drink. When I finally arrived the show had begun, so I couldn't get photos of "before" the film began, but I endeavored to get some photos showing what it looked like as we shared a fun movie together and many danced to the movies great upbeat songs.

 As the movie progressed, more women joined in and had a lot of fun..but no one was under any pressure to join!  It's a great way to do the variety of dance steps we all know. It was  like my High School days, in gym class when girls danced with girls and it was really fun.

 Thanks to Fran and the Social Committee for the great time we all had, sharing a movie and an opportunity to get to know our neighbors better!
 We agreed this had to be done more often and hope that those from the "new Phases" will soon join us! 

On another note:  our WELCOME WAGON hostess, Diana Hardacker, would love to visit all the new people who move in with a basket full of local coupons and a great West Coast Welcome.
 
If you have a neighbor who has just arrived and would like to introduce them to Chemainus and it's many attractions, please let me know so I can contact Diana.  She is a wonderful Hostess! My email: lvgmal@hotmail.com
A name and house number is all she needs...and you'll see her on her bicycle or walking around here as well as around town!
