✨Who Knew Wednesday ✨

Did you know?

Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don’t drift apart while floating in the water. How adorable is that? 🩷

They’ll often wrap themselves in kelp as an extra anchor, but sometimes they’ll simply hold paws with another otter to stay together.

💬 If you could spend a day observing any animal in the wild, which animal would you choose and why?

✨ Meet our Members ✨

This week we’re excited to introduce one of our incredible Kinette members, Raelynn Nicholson!🩷

How long have you been part of the Kinettes?
Since 2001! Raelynne is a Charter Member, one of the original members from when our club restarted, and is also a Life Member.

What do you enjoy most about being part of the Kinette community?
“The lifelong friendships I’ve made here in town and throughout the Province.”

What are you usually doing when you’re not at a Kin event?
Helping on the family’s grain and cattle farm, spending time at the lake, enjoying side-by-side adventures, and spoiling her grandson whenever she gets the chance!

What is your favourite quote?
“A ship is safe in harbour, but that’s not what ships are built for.”

Calling all bakers! 🍪🧁

Our Bake With Love Auction event is coming up, and we’re looking for volunteers who would like to donate baked goods and help make this event a success.

If baking is your passion — or you know someone who makes amazing treats — tag them in the comments and share this post so we can reach more people in our community!

✨ Motivation Monday ✨

“You’re the greatest project that you will ever work on.

Restart. Rest. Refocus. As many times as you need to.

Just don’t give up on yourself.” 🩷

A reminder for the week ahead that growth is not always linear. Some days require progress, some days require rest, and some days simply require starting again — and that’s okay.

Be patient with yourself. Keep showing up for yourself. The small steps still matter.

Tag someone who may need this reminder today, or share this post to help encourage someone this week.🩷

✨ Who Knew Wednesday ✨

Did you know? 🤔

Earth’s rotation is actually slowing down over time! That means the length of a day increases by about 1.8 seconds per century. ⏳

💬 We want to hear from YOU:
Tell us an interesting fact you don’t think a lot of people know and we might feature your “did you know” next week. Tag your friends to share the knowledge.🗣️
