Victoria support Group meeting -- April 21st!
« on: April 14, 2010, 01:27:11 PM »

Announcement re the Victoria B.C.  Origins Support Group April Meeting:


Our meeting this month will be at a different time than per usual, and I hope that those of you who haven't been able to make it to an afternoon meeting will be able to come to an evening one.  It will be Wednesday, April 21st, at 7:30 in the evening.  Eleanor has graciously offered us the use of the dining room at her housing complex, the Lions Cove, at 290 Island Highway.   

On Google-Maps it is at  http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=290+Old+Island+Highway,+Victoria&sll=48.457527,-123.434744&sspn=0.013946,0.027595&ie=UTF8&split=1&filter=0&rq=1&ev=zi&radius=0.63&hq=290+Old+Island+Highway,+Victoria&hnear=&ll=48.457527,-123.434744&spn=0.013946,0.027595&z=15&iwloc=A

Or ...  from the direction of town come up Craigflower Road, which becomes  Old Island Highway  (at Admirals Road), turn right at Helmeken and then turn right at Eltham ( one short block from Old Island Highway) come to the end of Eltham.  You will see townhouses to the left ( Ashley Gate ) and 290 ( Lion's Cove) to the right.  There is guest parking by the door.   The parking lot is a well lighted area.  If coming out of downtown on the bus, the number 14 which stops along Douglas, then crosses the Bay Street Bridge,  will come right past the place.  Get off the bus when it turns off Old Island Highway onto Helmecken and then walk in on  Eltham ( one short block) into Lion's Cove,

Meeting will start at 7:30 promptly, and doors will open at 7.  If you can't make it to the meeting, but would like to do coffee some time with another member, call 250-419-1200 and leave a message, or you can also network with other members by joining our online support group forum at http://www.originscanada.org/forum or via our Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=34240423105

Hi!   With huge apologies, I have a last minute notice about the meeting that was scheduled for 7:30 tomorrow evening (April 21st):  Eleanor's mother had a sudden turn for the worse in her health yesterday (Monday) and is now in palliative care.  :(  So, Eleanor will not be able to host the meeting at her place tomorrow evening.  She sends her profuse apologies.   I assured her it is no problem at all to re-schedule and that we understand entirely.

Please send your prayers and warm wishes to Eleanor and her mom!

For anyone who was planning on attending, please give me a call at 250-419-1200  and we can do coffee as a small group either tomorrow evening or maybe this weekend or at your convenience.

A May meeting will be scheduled -- place and time not decided yet.  I'll post an announcement on our FB discussion board.  :)

Yours,
Cedar
Victoria support group coordinator.
