President's Winter Message
November 2023

It’s that time of year again! Winter is upon us and time for the holidays and giving. Have you thought of what gifts you’ll be buying this year for family, loved ones, friends, and acquaintances? Did you know that the best gift of all doesn’t cost anything as far as money goes? How can that be?

Love and friendship are the greatest gifts we can give or receive. Love doesn’t have to be the romantic kind. It’s caring, kindness, and sharing the goodness from one’s own heart. Friendship is the gift of giving one’s attention and time to someone you’ve known for a while or have just met. All of us can give these gifts, even if we live chaotic busy lives. We should remember our friends and acquaintances even if it’s with a brief note, card, phone call, conversation or email…nor should we ignore making new friends and acquaintances just by showing interest, whether it’s at an OWCC luncheon, church choir, a sports event, in your apartment building, or the craft group you belong to… The thought is what counts.

Did you know that giving of one’s time and love is priceless…as you can change someone’s feelings of loneliness and anxiety by just saying hello, introducing yourself, and asking simple questions about them, making them feel welcome and continuing to say ”Hi”. Remember not all of us are from the Ottawa Region and friendships can be harder to make when you move from elsewhere. So in this season of giving and all through the year, give of yourself (love and friendship) to those you love and someone new who needs a little kindness and welcoming.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

Carol MacKay
Your President

Les gentils mots de nos membres.

Je pourrais écrire un livre sur le Canadian Club concernant l’importance qu’il a eue dans ma vie qui, dans à peine deux mois, atteindra 100 annes.

J'ai le sentiment que ma vie a bénéficié de ma longue association avec le Club Canadien et les amitiés qui ont commencé dans les années 50 se poursuivent aujourd'hui et sont très appréciées.
