[Kwg-list] High Tea Invitation

[Julie Hard]

Hello Friends and Family,

Mike and I safely made our exit from Africa last week when we flew from
Johannesburg to Harare to Nairobi and then France.  We had a day or two
lay-over at each point which was a great opportunity to quickly revisit with
friends we had made along our 8 month adventure.  We even got the chance to
visit with our Kenyan hosts/family once more on a days outing to East
Africa's only indoor skating rink.

Not having gone skating for a number of years myself, we were all quite a
sight to see with our collective wobbling ankles and flailing arms. It was a
valliant effort however the first of our ranks, (Mr. Okidi) managed to last
only 8 minutes before he sought refuge well grounded on a wooden bench.  I
blame dull skates two sizes too large for my own inadequacies on the ice.
Mrs. Okidi fared well with a little instruction and an ice-friendly metal
walker.  Mike of course caught the whole thing on video and for a large fee
I may allow you to view it one day!

We are in Paris at the moment and wear the blisters on our feet as trophies
from all of the hiking we've done around town and through the multitudes of
museums that we've visited!  We've also discovered that red wine is cheaper
than water here so we've made it standard practice to include it and cheese
in nearly every meal that we've had! In other words,.. we are really
enjoying France.

Only a few more weeks before we repatriate to Canada.  That being said, we
would love to see you all again and catch up on missed days.  Mike and I
have been invited to speak about our experience in Kenya at a fund-raising
event to help raise money for the project area in which we volunteered.  It
is a High Tea and Silent Auction to be held on July 15th from 3-6pm at
Trinity Streetsville Anglican Church in Mississauga.  It is a wonderful
opportunity to further assist the community that we have grown to love in
Kenya and to share with the community we love at home.  I invite you all to
come and drink tea, eat scones and tiny sandwiches with the crusts cut off,
laugh at our photos and give to a wonderful cause.  Tickets are $15 and we
are limited to 80 people so please let me know if you are coming so I can
reserve your seats in advance.

I hope and trust that all is well with you.  We look forward to hearing from
you soon.

God Bless,

Julie and Mike
