LISBIE'S TRIP TO AFRICA!!

Our dear friend, and member of Grandmothers of Steel, Lisbie Rae, leaves for Africa Wednesday, April 28th. She will be travelling with other Grandmother delegates and members of the Stephen Lewis Foundation to the 2010 Grandmothers' Gathering in Swaziland. This promises to be an exciting and inspiring journey for them all.

DARE TO DINE

Hello,and thank you to everyone who attended our Dare to Dine spectacular event. Everyone had a super time. The food was delicious and the wine most enjoyable. We received so many great comments and requests, hoping we'll repeat this great night next year, and indeed we hope too!

Thanks to all the 'Grandmothers' who worked so hard and a 'Special' Thank You to all the help we received outside of the Grandmothers of Steel. This comprised of delicious African cooking (everyone commented on this), staying to serve it, and all the great items that were donated for our Silent Auction.

WELL DONE EVERYONE!!
