Hello BOP members,

The year is flying by, and it’s been a busy month here in the Bay of Plenty!
It was wonderful to be back in Whakatane for our in-person meeting on
“The Journey Towards Wellness” where we had some fantastic discussions.
Our final in-person meeting for the year will be on 4th December, and I hope you’ll join us for a special Christmas gathering where we’ll discuss tips for
managing the festive season.

I know it seems a bit early but I’m also starting to think about our Christmas
social group celebrations. For our Hobby Share group in November, we’ll be hosting a handmade card workshop. One of our talented members, who has been creating beautiful handmade cards for some time, has graciously offered to teach us her craft.
It’s a perfect chance to create a personalised Christmas card for someone special! If you’re interested, please let me know so I can get an idea of
numbers. Normally, she charges $10 for a one-hour lesson, but is kindly
offering this to our members for just $6 per person.

Until next time take care, and again, take a moment to ask yourself what made you smile recently?
