The Millennials present: Trivioke with Jason Roland 

Join the millennials for an all-ages night of music trivia! We'll be testing our musical (and guessing) skills in a fun night hosted by our remote host in Toronto, Jason Rolland. As this is all over zoom - all you need is a device to log in to zoom! It's preferable that you have access to a computer as at least 1 member from each team will need to submit answers and access the whiteboard function on zoom. Don't worry our amazing host takes care of all the tricky bits! 

All genres and decades are sure to get a look in, so join us for rounds like name that tune, pictionary, album cover scramble and more. Participants are limited to 42 (7 teams of 6). Teams will be random, though if you are sharing a screen you will need to share a team - please indicate if you will have more than one person joining on one device. This event is open to your plus 1s, though members will get preference for the spots first. 

There will be a cost of $5 to participate. Please e-transfer this amount to rebeccacmodel@hotmail.com upon RSVPing to Farah

RSVP by Friday, January 18 at farah.surani@outlook.com along with your top music category!

A new year brings forth a new initiative to ignite some old intentions! This club will always be about sisterhood at its core, and one of our FAVOURITE things to do in the millennial group is to lift each other up and be inspired by the achievements and spirit of our members. So, in addition to weekly Sunday shares in our millennial Whatsapp group chat, we are going to have a monthly Sisterhood Spotlight (SS), always taking place on the 16th at 6 pm so that we can get a variety of days. 

Our first will take place on Saturday, January 16th and will comprise of a catch up over zoom where 1 or 2 of our members is given the floor to tell us what they're passionate about, what their dreams are, any projects/initiatives they are currently working on, where they come from and how they got to where they are now, and anything else they want to share! Everyone is welcome to speak each month, with at least 1 arranged prior. If you'd like to speak at next month's SS (or on any given month), please let me know and Rebecca will contact you! We want every member to feel supported, and it will be great to connect with each other on things we may not have been aware of, hopefully, a few serendipitous moments! Our group is as much for support as it is for socializing, and we want to ensure there is a forum each month for everyone to get the most out of their membership. 

Let the millennial mantra for 2021 be: Serendipity. Solidarity. Sisterhood 

To kick off this initiative, this month, we will have 2 incredible women from our millennial group share their knowledge and speak on their journeys:
