Upcoming Events in the Robson Valley
Message from Pete Amyoony concerning the DCA list (also known as "Pete's List")
I have not been able to send out the nightly e-mail list for the past few weeks. It had been going out every night to just under 500 people in the Robson Valley and area. Telus decided to get out of the e-mail hosting business and on January 27 I sent out the final group e-mails that evening. On Thursday, January 28 at 7 am Telus "migrated" my e-mail from the Telus platform to the Google Mail platform and for the next four days I was unable to send or receive any e-mails. Thanks to my good neighbour who worked on my computer and online for hours that weekend, I was able once again to send out and receive individual e-mails. However, I am still not able to send out any "group e-mails". I am still trying to find a solution through Telus and local computer technicians, but so far we have had no luck. For now I am not even trying to send out the nightly notices so please do not send messages to go out. If a solution is found, I will begin that evening to send out the messages again. Thanks for your understanding and patience!
Pete

| Citizen's book club: The Citizen's book club is a collaboration between the Robson Valley Community Literacy Outreach, The Three Valley's Community Development Co-operative and the McBride and District Public Library.
The goal of the book club is to learn about creating positive change in our community by sharing books that offer innovative solutions to common problems.
The first book we will read is "Community: The Structure of Belonging" by Peter Block. This book is described as:
"an exploration of the exact way a community can emerge from fragmentation. How is community built? How does transformation occur? What fundamental shifts are involved? What can individuals and leaders do to create a place they want to inhabit?"
You can read the reviews of Community: The Structure of Belonging at http://www.librarything.com/work/5501534/reviews/67135477.
The McBride and District Library will order a copy of the book for each person in the book club. A date, time and location for the book discussion will be decided once the group is formed. Please contact Nancy Taylor at 250-968-4358 or by email if you are interested in becoming involved. Cancelled until further notice |
