Our Silver Linings Gala was a very successful celebration! During the reception, everyone glowed in the beautiful space filled with live music and laughter. Janice Waugh, Marney Winn, Sandra Brunner and Deb McGrath shared their stories and we celebrated honesty and resiliency. As Mr. Rogers said, “If it’s mentionable, it’s manageable”. We talked about life challenges and the lessons wrapped up in those gifts. We celebrated what’s possible, when our arms are linked. The Spoken Lives community is a special group of people.
The Dream Team who made it happen (pictured above) all worked hard on creating a beautiful night for our Spoken Lives community. Behind us is the poster with almost 100 speakers represented.
In total, we raised over $1,800. for charity and then, an audience member surprized me by presenting a most beautiful quilt! It’s a wonderful gift! I often say that I want to wrap Canada in a patchwork of women’s stories, and now Adrienne Winterhelt has inspired me to keep going.
The Silver Linings Gala was the best thing that happened for me in 2019. It was a dream come true! Here I am on the day after, taking a much needed rest with my lovely quilt!
