Women's Network of South Okanagan

Courtesy of Osoyoos Times reporter Richard McGuire

Over the past summer I settled into a new life in Osoyoos BC. Randal and I made the decision to become residents of British Columbia. It was not a hard decision as we have spent three winters as  NK'Mip RV Snow Birds. We stayed for the summer and felt at home.

Every Saturday I walked to the Market On Main There I enjoyed the Organic Coffee from Wolf Tree Coffee; The jams from Kolibri Kreations; pickles and sauerkraut from Garlic Freak and talking to many other vendors.

I was so excited about this environment that I thought that meeting more enterprising women would be the way to go through a women's network. I had belonged to the Regina Women's Network while living in Regina. I started to ask the women if there was such a organisation here in Osoyoos to find out there was not. From there I collected business cards and developed an email list. To date I have over 50 responses. 

The first organisation meeting was held on October 16^th at Troy's Grill. It was overwhelming to see 13 women attend and immediately volunteered to kick start the Women's Network of South Okanagan 

Thank you ladies for your keen interest and support in the new adventure. I look forward to meeting many more entrepreneurial women. 

Notes and Clippings --- The Book

At long last, three years and loads of editing my autobiography has been printed.

The folks at Kettle Valley Graphics, Kelowna did an excellent job. Peter and Mary were great to work with and I know they were as proud with the end results as we were.

We drove from Osoyoos today to pick up 6 boxes   -- 200 copies 

Thanks to Randal at Studio eh Designs for all his editing,  hard work and terrific computer skills to set up Notes and Clippings.
