Dear Members:

Another busy and successful Fall - 85 courses were offered, taken by 362 of our

members, accounting for 1253 registrations in all! Happily we were joined by 50 new

members. We enjoyed an amazing variety of courses, thanks to our four regional

committees who continue to work tirelessly to offer diverse learning opportunities with

excellent instructors in comfortable venues. Please consider the many Winter course

offerings outlined in this newsletter prior to attending winter registration.

At the recent AGM, TSC received a new board and a new constitution. The new

constitution was required to fully implement our TSC Strategic Plan (SP). Pursuant to

this, we are now revising and streamlining our committee structure. To date, your TSC

Board and committees have achieved many SP objectives; the new structure will allow

us to finish the job and implement those initiatives you as members have told us were

important. As always, your input and committee participation would be most welcome.

Contact Tracey [email protected] or me [email protected] and don’t

forget the suggestion box at registration!

TSC WINS AWARD!

TSC has received the New Brunswick “ Excellence in Aging Award” ! This award

recognizes New Brunswickers who have had “a positive, unique and remarkable

impact on the way people age in New Brunswick.” The award was presented to TSC

representatives by The Honourable Jocelyne Roy Vienneau- 31st Lieutenant-Governor of

New Brunswick at a reception in Fredericton. Congratulations were also given by The

Honorable Lisa Harris, Minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care and Minister

Responsible for Celtic Affairs for New Brunswick. As members, we all know how

remarkable TSC is, but it is gratifying to have our organization recognized by others. A

big THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who made this possible!

I will close by wishing you Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year filled with

learning and laughter.

Linda Cooper

President, TSC
