💙💛 A Peek Inside: The First Meeting of Our Fiscal Year!

We gathered for our first fiscal meeting of the year and it was full of special moments and fresh energy for the season ahead!

💼 We were proud to welcome in our new Executive for 2024-2025:
Sarah was officially inducted as President, alongside Kim as Vice-President and Barb as 2nd Vice-President. A big thank you to North Zone Governor Cherryl for joining us to lead the ceremony!

🌸 We also had the chance to thank our incredible outgoing President, Heather, for her two amazing years of service. Kristi presented her with flowers and a card signed by the CPC SILKS, and we’re so happy she’ll remain on the Executive as Past President.

💻 Another highlight? Welcoming returning member Colleen back into the CPC SILKS family! She Zoomed in to join us from out of town and was officially inducted back in. We’re all looking forward to giving her a big welcome hug when we see her in person.

As always, it was a joy to gather, reconnect, and plan for the year ahead. The CPC SILKS are ready to make a difference, and we’d love for you to join us!

📩 Curious about what we do or thinking about joining? Reach out anytime to attend a meeting and see what we’re all about.

💙💛 Table Talk with the CPC SILKS – Round Four: Playoffs Edition

At our latest meeting, we sparked some playoff spirit by asking the group: “Which NHL team are you cheering for in the playoffs?”

No surprises as the Edmonton Oilers were the fan favourite, with a few cheering on the Toronto Maple Leafs and one dedicated supporter rooting for the Winnipeg Jets!

Which team are YOU backing this playoff season? Tell us in the comments and let the friendly rivalry begin! 🏒🥅

A more detailed post is coming soon, and for now we want to extend a massive 🌟THANK YOU🌟 to everyone that came out and made today’s event a success!

💙💛 Getting involved and giving back: it’s what we’re all about!

Our CPC SILKS were proud to volunteer at the SCOSA booth during the City of St. Albert Lifestyle Expo. Kristi and Lorraine (pictured here!) helped spread the word about the amazing service clubs in our city; other volunteers sold 50/50 tickets to support SCOSA’s initiatives.

We also had Cherryl, Marianne, and Sue volunteer their time…we just didn’t snag photos of them!

SCOSA (Service Clubs of St. Albert) brings local service clubs together to share volunteers, support each other’s events, and make an even bigger difference in our community.
We’re so proud to be part of it!

💙💛 Table Talk with the CPC SILKS is back for round three!

We love a good dinner meeting, and we love it even more with some fun conversation in the mix. This week’s burning debate: Are you an Early Bird or a Night Owl?

Here’s how the answers shook out:
☀️ • 33% rise with the sun
🌙 • 44% thrive under moonlight
😴 • And 22%… well, let’s just say they’re “Sleep Enthusiasts”.

Check out the pictures below to see who landed where! 👇
