| Our Gift
Bags - More Novice Power in Action |
|
Were you
pleasantly surprised to receive your lovely gift
bag (pink of course!) at a recent practice?
It was the brain child of Barb Baker,
an energetic novice with the Staying Abreast crew
in False Creek. Barb is a skin care instructor
who also enjoys creating fiber art when she is
not paddling or on the water.
Barb mentioned
that she wanted to do a special project for the
AIAB members and created the gift bag idea around
the importance of skin care especially for us
paddlers.
Barb’s employer,
Blanche Macdonald Centre was supportive
of the idea and provided the specially designed
black cosmetic bags. Various other companies were
approached by Barb and were also generous with information
and product samples.

Barb arranged a time at the Centre for
several of us to fill the gift bags. It
was quite an assembly line. Under her direction
Sharon Clements, Janet Andrews, Diane McNair,
Valerie Lamb, Joyce Booth, friend Marilyn,
Deb Thiessen and I distributed the goods.
We were able to take photos (of course)
with the Blanche Macdonald Assistant Director
Barbara Johnson receiving a framed photo
of the six crews.
A
big hug and thanks to Barb!
