Creating a good habit ...research shows that it takes 21 days to establish a new (preferably good :) habit. It has been at least that long since I last checked in and I have still not gotten busy with my next, new habit. Somewhere between New Year's resolutions to eat healthier, excercise more and get more organized, sits my pledge to submit a monthly blog. It is actually no chore to 'write' but more important would be that someone wishes to read my jottings...that said, I will add an update about the tempo in Trochu since Christmas.
A Trochu Centennial Committee has been struck to celebrate 100 years strong, kicking things off with a stroll through history with remarkable Trochuites via a fabulous 2011 calendar that is enjoying excellent sales for the local Museum and Historical Society as well as a weekly newspaper piece called "Footprints". New Year's Eve exploded on the scene with a wonderful traditional fireworks display immediately followed with hot chocolate and later a cabaret with excellent entertainment by our much loved home-grown "Frere Band". On January 5, exactly a year following our Ignite Tour community meeting, we reconvened to update the community about pertinent ACE events including progress for our Trails System Project. Our family-friendly winter carnival took place in early February with "Own the Podium" photo opportunities with former local Olympians. Town Councillor and ACE Leader, Bill Cunningham has been working toward a new event to debut in Trochu, March 25..."A Taste of Trochu"; whereby local food purveyors will showcase sample-sized fare for all to try, as well as an array of local entertainment emphasizing our rich multi-cultural community.
Following a spirited webinar last week on "Facilitation Techniques" by BarbPedersen, my head is quite stuffed so I will leave you now. Stay tuned for next month's offering as I am determined to make good on at least one of my newly created 'good' habits.....Till next time; Trochu out.
Val, how fabulous to hear all of the events and activities that Trochu has undertaken. A happening place! I love the "one year after the Ignite Tour" session to celebrate and refocus on your initiative. Fun, food and celebration are so evident in all that Trochu does.
ReplyDeleteI love the use of the word "spirited" when describing the webinar. Thanks for participating!
