Archive for September, 2010

It is amazing how quickly a year flies by! It was almost one year ago that the Wednesday Night Discussion Group changed to its new organization and format (see the History page on www.wndg.ca for more information). I have been very encouraged by both the continued support for the WNDG from all of our sponsors & participants and the often lively and well-attended discussions that I have had the privilege of facilitating each week.

As the “new” WNDG moves into its second year, my main goal will be working toward ensuring that the group is sustainable moving forward. As the sole facilitator and volunteer, I am always nervous that changes in my own personal life, attempts to schedule vacations or the occasional bout of illness will impact the group and its participants. As such, over the next year, I would like to spend some time expanding the base of volunteers supporting the WNDG- especially in the following three areas:

• Expanding and diversifying the team of facilitators for the group;
• Managing and revitalizing of the WNDG Discussion Group Listserve; and
• Updating of the WNDG.ca Website.

If you are interested in and available to help out in any of these areas, please let me know at the discusssion or via e-mail (See the Keeping in Touch Tab for more information). I will be scheduling training sessions for all roles in late September and early October!

Thanks again for all of your support over the past year!
