November 5, 2023 IPTRA Newsletter
I thought November would be quiet, but nope, not happening! Too many people have too many good ideas and keep organizing stuff.
TOMORROW (November 6): Mindful Meditation from 10 - 10:45 in the social room.
How it works:
- gather at 10
- welcome and introductions
- mindfulness meditation theme for the day
- brief discussion on the meditation
This session (and future ones if there is interest) are free.
Thursday November 9th: Meet at the Pub 4:30 at Churchills, 365 Richmond Road
Thursday November 9th: Meet at the Pub 4:30 at Churchills, 365 Richmond Road
A chance to gather with neigbours for a beverage, conversation, and laughs. (Note we try to have these every 3 weeks.)
Wednesday November 29th: Fire Safety talk with the Fire Marshall, 11:00 in the social room
A chance for a refresher on apartment fire safety.
Looking ahead, save the date for the Winter Holiday Party will be December 17 from 2 - 4 p.m. in the social room. The generic name is just to make sure everyone knows everyone is welcome whether or not you celebrate Christmas but there will be Christmas carol singing and figgy pudding as well as socializing.
And tentatively, if I can get permission from Homestead and help setting up from some residents, we'll do another Stuff Exchange, this time in the lobby of 200 on November 18th. Confirmation will either be by email or on the bulletin boards in the mail room.
And of course the Tuesday Euchre from 2 - 4 in the social room

For those asking to renew their IPTRA membership, you can now do an Interac email transfer of the $10 to finance@IPTRA.org. In the memo section, please note your apartment number and name. Of course, you can always hand me cash in the elevator but this is a more reliable method for the treasurer and membership secretary!
The minutes from the Annual General Meeting will be sent out shortly. In the meantime, here is the composition of the new board (pretty similar to the old board, except for the addition of Larry Cunningham as a rep for 200.)

The board is also well supported by residents who come out to help with assorted activities. A lot of things happen when someone has an idea and runs with it, for instance, yesterday's successful Craft Fair. All this helps make this a wonderful community to live in.
