So Janelle is our secretary. 

Nothing can be accomplished if someone doesn't write it down.  And I guarantee that nothing will be remembered if it isn't recorded.  I used to have a fantastic memory but as I age, I'm now 37, I have already begun to notice a difference.  Not huge just not what it used to be.  Like that Toby Keith song "I'm not as good as I once was but I'm as good once as I ever was." 

But I digress.  Janelle has known of Forever Friends for many years.  She is a lender in the financial institution that holds our accounts.  She decided to come to our annual general meeting last year and join FFOH.  Then at the meeting she decided to take on the roll of secretary.  This is a fair sized job and one that she is handling very well. 

Honest to God she is one of the smartest people I have ever met.  She is also quite shy.  Now that I think of it, maybe I  just scared her off for many years until she just got used to me.  But either way she is one of us now!  (Insert evil laughter and tented fingers here.) 

She has three girls and is active in the Girl Guides program.  She is married but we have never met her husband.  As shy as Janelle is, apparently in her marriage, she is the out going one.  She brings a wealth of financial experience to FFOH that we are grateful to have. 

On a side note, we have our first donated silent auction prize for the fall  event at the casino.  Saskatchewan's Got Talent is proud to be supported by Payless Furniture in Fort Qu'Appelle.  Rick and Chrisena Sthamann own Payless and have been long term sponsors and supporters of Forever Friends and more importantly, our friends. 

So I will keep everyone posted as our sponsors continue to roll in.  Finding Corporate sponsors is hard to do.  Asking people for large amounts of money is tough.  So I will pass on any successes we have so you can all help celebrate!    And by celebrate, I mean go to the businesses of our sponsors and buy something and then tell them why!  Trust me, they want to hear it. 

So if you live in a province lucky enough to be celebrating Family Day, enjoy it.  If not, be jealous.  An extra day off is great! 

Thanks to you all!
