Friday update 8 December 2017
Hello and welcome everyone to our Friday
Update.
How fast have the last two weeks gone
by! I cannot believe we are 2 weeks away
from Christmas!
This is the first year that I’m
hosting Christmas lunch at my place for 13 people (it could also be the last
depending on my cooking especially the turkey!). Feeling a little bit organized, I have
started some Christmas shopping and have made a start on writing some Christmas
cards. I do love receiving a hand
written card!
We have had some great discussion
in the online space regarding Christmas.
Keep up the posts, we are keen to hear what you have found helpful at
Christmas time and any tips that may help others manage this busy and sometimes
challenging time of the year. Our
communications team are using some of the posts in their end of year
communications to our members over the next few weeks. We will also compile
them together in a post in the lead up to Christmas.
We have had 40 new members join our
online community in the last two weeks. I
have listed the usernames below and extend a very warm welcome to all of you.

In the news….
Work & breast cancer group
Thank you to all our members who posted
comments in the Work & breast cancer group.
We are keen to keep this discussion going and are keen to hear of your
experiences; the good and not so good.
Farewell…
Most
of you would know Ann-Marie who was the Coordinator of the online network at
BCNA over the last few years. Unfortunately
for us, Ann-Marie is leaving us at BCNA.
We are very sad to see her go and wish her all the very best in her
future ventures. I wanted to take this
opportunity to thank Ann-Marie for all her amazing work within the online
community, I know that she will miss you all.
Her amazing energy, warmth and compassion was evident in her work within
our community.
Hoping the weekend ahead for everyone is a relaxing one…
Will
touch base again in two weeks’ time (that will be 3 days til Christmas!)
Take
care everyone
