LINDA MANWARREN

21 sparked the beginning of another wonderful year for CRTA members . We welcomed three new members to the board of directors , which came together for a retreat in Bragg Creek to pause and reflect . We renewed our commitment to support retired teachers and considered how we can best do that .

Happily , we accepted the trophy as branch winner of the ARTA Walking Challenge . The top thirty participants were thrilled to receive individual prizes of a cookbook , Healthy Cooking for Two ( Or Just You ) by Frances Price , RD — but everyone who walked wins with better health !

Two learning sessions were well-received : Antifraud , and Hearing Loss and Services . Two six-week sessions of art lessons began and another InBody Composition Clinic was held .

We honoured the military past through participation at three Remembrance Day celebrations and attendance at Lunchbox Theatre ’ s production of Flight Risk .

We anticipate the annual trip to Rosebud Theatre for its seasonal presentation .

At the solstice , celebrations of the lighter days to come are common throughout cultures and history . However you mark this time of year , may the light spark joyous memories for all of you . �
