The Party began Friday evening with dinner in the Penthouse.
The Calgary Committe greeted us with hugs and smiles.
Everyone introduced themselves including Gugal 
,
Barb Watson got us all moving, jumping up and down and laughing while we sang "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean," (her instructions were to stand and sit for every word beginning with B) and "Let Me Call You Sweatheart" (sung with no pronouns!) and
SO's partners and husbands of BC survivors had a workshop.
In the afternoon various listers met with Rasa Lila for a Qong Qi session with Bobbie Rivere for some aerobic exercising, Musa Mayer showed the video she had made in Portland, and Sandy Saunders delivered more T-shirts!

and watched those who had not brought hats make fabulous hats with their napkins so they could become
official hat judges
We ended the evening going to the Olympic Park to remember those on the list who have died since we met in Portland.
On a table were 22 roses, a three candle candlabra and a tall candle.
The lights went out for two minutes and we remembered. 
Barb Watson sang, the lights came back on.
We listened to a poem written by Paula Campbell about our meeting, received more door prizes, laughed, enjoyed one another, hugged, said our farewells and promised to meet again next year!
