[CCC] Fwd: Network Canada - May Mid-Month Reminder

Wed Jun 20 18:51:14 BST 2007

Dear all,

Many, many thanks to the many, many of you who 
came out to the big barbeque on Sunday! A record 
turnout!  It was a raging success and we hope you 
all really enjoyed yourselves. We were so lucky 
it didn't rain and was so warm. :)

Please see below for the latest from Network 
Canada and the goings on in London. Canada day is 
coming up fast, and this year, the festivities 
are on Friday, June29th - Canada takes Trafalgar 
Square! It'll be a huge party - go if you can! 
Last year, some of our crew even ended up on the 
CBC for their hockey scores. Go team, go!

Take care. Enjoy the sunshine.

Mary
