EOC - Photo Scavenger Hunt - Old Strathcona Even though there were only seven of us for the event today, we had a great time. We paired up a newbie with an "oldbie" (or two) and set out to find the random and strange items that Brent and I dreamt up last fall. We had lots of prizes, with Geoff and Henry winning hands-down at getting the most items, and we considered it a toss-up between Erin, Linda and Charlotte for most creative. I was impressed with Charlotte's "City Bus Sign" photo (hopefully she'll e-mail that to me), and Linda and Erin's two-for photo of a Pay Phone with a bullet hole (Broken Window). Henry is a photo scavenger hunt maniac and I was most impressed with his team's photos of a Three-Inch+ Heel, Ghost, Plate of Spaghetti, 8-Track Tape, Theatre Ticket, and Satisfied Telus Customer. Lessons learned: - Don't use the Black Dog pub as a meeting place... it is always closed! - iPhones are awesome for photo scavenger hunts because of their thumbnail feature Thanks to everyone who came out - it was loads of fun! - Rhonda
EOC - EOC 2010 Celebration! The EOC 2010 Celebration was a fantastic way to kick off the New Year. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces as well as the many upcoming new members. A good time was had by all! Great food, great company and great times! There was lots of mingling as everyone tried to guess their new identities and many found out that they weren't as smart as a hiking stick after all, let alone a 5th grader! The Silent Auction for Mike's Art raised $160.00 for a noteworthy cause, The World Wildlife Fund. Thanks to all who took part in the bidding and a special note of thanks to Cliff for his assistance in organizing the paintings. All of the misfit toys and unwanted gifts were assembled to be claimed by unsuspecting "re-gifters." Highlights included a dancing snowman and a portable cardboard hiker's toilet for Larry. Thanks "Vanna" for assisting Mark with the gift exchange. The 2010 Celebration was a success due to the tremendous team effort and spirit of participation. Thanks to the co-coordinators of the event; Ryan, Sandie, Mark and Mae as well as the many volunteers who helped to organize and decorate the venue; Donna, Rhonda, Brent,and Ken. Apologies if we missed anyone. Thanks to all of the members for coming out and making it a Great Celebration, see you on another event soon! Happy Trails and Blue Skies, as always, Mae.
