Stay connected to fellow Club members during this time when the Club is closed due to the restrictions announced by Public Health.

 As we are all spending so much time at home and can’t meet at the Club, join the new BREAKFAST CLUB – COFFEE AND CONVERSATION.

Come as you are – don’t worry about your hair, wear your bathrobe if that’s what your morning looks like!

This is a light and casual social time. A time to stay connected and enjoy light conversation. Each morning features a 15-minute introduction of a topic by a “Host” followed by conversation. A Facilitator helps to guide the conversation. The Host is a member who gives us a short presentation on a topic of personal or life interest.

Every Monday and Friday morning from 9:00-9:40 AM on Zoom.

Friday, January 22, 9 am: Staying Musically Connected in COVID with Host Nancy Wu
Monday, January 25, 9 am: The Secrets of Hycroft with Host Cathy Barford (all the stories you’ve never heard!)
Friday, January 29, 9 am: Garden Prep with Host Julie Lacey (thinking ahead now for your beautiful garden this Spring and Summer)

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:

She holds a Management Studies (BA) degree from Aberdeen University in Scotland. She will be speaking on the major turning points of her career journey and asks that everyone share theirs as well!

2) Jobina Bardai:
