Don’t fight the fog, there is nothing you can do to make it go away. Only nurture and comfort yourself until the path is clear once again.
J Williamson

You are your own star, galaxy, and universe. The moment you know this to be true is the moment you know – truly know- who you are and what you are capable of.
Heidi Jane

• Program
• Maddy introduced Teresa Cheng, an occupational therapist working for Interior Health. Tereasa works with people at TACL and is asking for a donation toward a specialized chair for a young lady with down syndrome, supported at TACL. The chair would help her sit up straight to eat. the chair costs $1000. She has donations of $250, and is asking for help with the rest.
• We thanked her for her presentation and when she had left had a discussion about it. Some felt it a large sum for us to pay all of it but felt it worthwhile. some members wanted to donate towards it.
• Motion by Carol, seconded by Weibing that We donate the remainder of the cost of $750 for the specialized chair. Passed. We will pay it directly to the medical company making the chair. Maddy will contact her for the invoice.
• Members can also donate toward this if they so desire.
