Just One More Sleep!!

Can you tell that I am excited about the visit from EWI Corporate to Lethbridge tomorrow? Our board has been working for months to organize the luncheon for our visitors and guests including Lethbridge Mayor Bob Tarleck, Alberta MLA Bridget Pastoor and our keynote speaker Cheryl Dick from Economic Development Lethbridge. Thank you in particular to Leanna Lomanski and JoAnn Jurgens for providing the gorgeous gift items (still a surprise so details will have to wait) for the visiting EWI dignitaries.

I am particularly excited at the opportunity to host this visit having been completely blown away by the warmth and hospitality of EWI Kentuckiana and all the other Chapter representives I met at the conference in Louisville Kentucky last September. What a huge event over 5 days and they made it look flawlessly smooth! No pressure.... well, maybe a little as I am keeping fingers crossed for a little southern Alberta sunshine to welcome our guests.
