Moving Day

 I've had a message from a woman who would like me to mention her wonderful new neighbours.  She and her husband had just moved to Sooke, B.C. and moving day was hectic as moving days can be.  At the end of their busy day people across the street  called across to them  and said the Pizza truck was arriving shortly.  Would they like to come over for pizza.   Since they had stopped for dinner on one of the moving trips they said "no, but  thanks".  The people called back "Well the cold drink truck is arriving too, come on over".   So they did and had a wonderful evening making new friends.  They felt very nicely welcomed to their new home! She passed on the "Nicer Place" that someone had given her several months earlier.  Now she would like me to send her some more.           I will.

A Gift For The Greater Victoria Police Chorus

For 27 years I've been volunteering with The Greater Victoria Police Chorus.   I've been with them while they traveled and performed fun, entertaining concerts and assisted  many charities with fundraising.    All the members volunteer  many hours of their time every week as they work hard together to keep the Chorus functioning.
However there is one Chorus member who has gone   "above and beyond the call of duty".  Allan Millham felt that the Chorus should have a DVD video.   We've recorded many CD's in the past but a never a DVD video.  Over a year ago, on his own,  he started to arrange all that is needed to develop a video: the recording crews, searching for correct publishers of the songs, licensing, permits, video  and recording session locations, a graphic artist and printers.  It is similar to herding cats!  He has put much of his personal life on hold and donated  an unmeasurable amount of his time and his money to give the Chorus a very special gift.  His thoughtfulness, caring  and hard work truly does make the world "A Nicer Place".  Thanks Allan.
