Please let me know anything and everything about your experience this year. What went well, what can be improved? Are there any volunteers you'd like to see the back of, people who would be better placed elsewhere?
Any volunteers you feel should be promoted to leadership positions? Were staff helpful, were they appreciative and receptive to your suggestions? Did you get enough support, prep, etc from Orientation materials and from me and Lili? Job descriptions attached, it's not too soon to submit suggestions for changes, especially while the 2013 Festival is still fresh!
Please don't hesitate to ask me for schedules for the events you worked; sometimes seeing a name associated with a certain time can generate a memory that's important to share.
Many thanks, I look forward to hearing from you! Kathryn Fowler, Volunteer Manager
Awesome story as usual. I am doing my yearly message check on Linkedin. We are flying to Hanoi on Nov 8 for a week in Hanoi VN. First time in SouthEast Asia for Carol. Bruno
Glenda and Tahramy are going to be in Vancouver on a week from today (Nov. 4th and 5th) so I wanted to email you both so you’d have each other’s addresses. Not sure when you’ll be back from your trip to Rick and Ruth’s cabin though.
We went to Tahramy’s church last night for their
annual Choir Day where Tahramy was honored by the church for his
long-standing dedication as choir master…Glenda sang Bob Dylan and Iris
Dyson belted out her gospel solo like with the soul
of Mahalia Jackson herself!!! It was a beautiful event and the music
was wonderful!
Love to all, Ayn
Hi Glenda and Tahramy, it would be great if you could come for
dinner on the 5th. We would love to see you and have you to our place. Where will you be staying? Best, Corinne
Not up until 8:00 am as Cora Lee had risen at just after 7:00 am to feed the Devil Cat! I had arranged to go for a ride with Whirlygig and once Cobbster had shaken off his overhang we were to rendezvous at 25th and Maple at 10:00 am. However, we actually connected on 16th and Cypress so they began to abuse me there. We had planned on a run to Iona as Jacob Two Two had not done this ride before. He was on his full carbon-fibre Giant mountain bike.
Quite an impressive piece of technology. Day was simply glorious. First time for me, (On
Sunday I was at Performance Works all day, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, last long
shift of the VWF, except for a few moments I could step outside to take
in the paddlers and kayakers nearbye at FCCC and feed the ducks some
stale bread.), that I've actually seen the mountains and cityscape
unobscured by fog. I'd taken to doing the SP Loop over the course of
last week, after attending some of the day sessions. Visual effects of
the fog, in and of themselves, were nothing short of spectacular, but it
was a delight to see the North Shore Mountains, magnificent
paper-cutouts against a clear blue sky yesterday.
Coming back up Heather was like riding through a tunnel of fire as the Japanese Maple trees on each side of the street have turned and it was simply magical to be in a Harry Potter film! Did you arrange the SFX, SPFX, or simply FX, for us Big Al.? If so, thanks! I waved goodbye to father and son at the corner of Pine Crescent and made my way out to UBC.
It was fun to
see some of the changes since I was last there in early July before we
left. The large playing field behind the new University Hill Secondary
is now finished and 16th is very nicley paved and marked with bike lanes
between the two roundabouts, the one leading into Wesbrook Village
itself and a new one on East Mall.
Had almost 74 km on the clock by the time I reached Kits Point so only a fairly short dipsy-doodle to give me my target distance by the time I pulled into Heartbreak Terrace at shortly before 2:00 pm. Longest ride since being back so was more than pleased with outing, company, weather and magnificent cityscape. Only thing missing was Big Al! Hope he can join us soon. He'll be able to afford a new bike, and more, once I receive the invoice for the desk which he is putting together for Chloë's loft, I'm sure!

After a bit eat and some frustrating phone calls to Amex and TD Waterhouse, (more round and round and round), I suited up again to ride to MEC to pick up a new camel pack and a box, (save a couple of bucks buying four tubes), of Nuun electrolyte tablets. (I'd left my old one in Chabeuil and remainder of tablets in Amersham), and then to RBC on the corner of Broadway and Cambie to pay Amex and Port Mann toll charge. We had spent a weekend with Big Al and Colleen in late June at their lovely cabin in the Sunshine Valley just outside of Hope and toll had come into effect by then. Had received three dunning letters while we were away so wanted to have things in order by the time we crossed again, this coming Friday, en route to Little Shuswap.
Errand ride: 13.11 km, 20.8 km/h AVG, over 0:37'40
Bed by 11:00 and but one chapter with Kinsey before my eyes started to shut. Cora Lee was not far behind me either, Maggie nestled on her chest and content as content could be, purring like a tiny outboard!
Just wait for the cartoon introduction to finish, then hold on to your seat.
Don't forget, once they reach the top they then have to do the maintenance or replacement work required.
Glad I do not have to do this for a living.
