Eeek! "Let's Celebrate Mental Health!" is THIS SUNDAY!!! I have behind on the blogging, I have been super swamped!! But its GOOD!! :)
So, everything is coming along great! I am soooo excited for the event! I just finished putting the gift bags together, (they are so packed full of goodies!) And collected the last of the raffle prizes! And all the models for the fashion show are in order too! There are some hot little foxes struttin' there stuff on the runway!! Its going to be so fun!
Recently, there was a press release in the Barrie Examiner about the event, and informing the Simcoe community of Coun. Andrew Prince's, (Ward 9) return from a medical leave. He will be speaking at the event! Which is AWESOME! He has some great things to speak about, and really supports The Canadian Mental Health Association. I was a little disapointed with how the Barrie Examiner twisted the press release, and focused on a lot of negative and unnecessary things on Coun. Andrew Prince's behalf...read on and see for your self....
I wrote a letter to the editor, which I doubt will get published, but I have re-posted it for my friends, family and fellow blogger followers to read....
"After reading the article recently published in the Barrie Examiner, online, I cant help but shake my head.
Don't you think you should be focusing on the positives that Coun. Andrew Prince is doing for our community and not on his personal life for a change? I speak on behalf of many readers, when I say I am are pretty sick of the negative repeats that you report about Coun. Prince's behalf and other members of city council.
I think that furthering your research on the event "Let's Celebrate Mental Health!" would have been wise to promote for our community. Along with focusing more on the positives of this great event and good cause members of council are participating in.
I was not only pleased with the support Coun. Prince expressed on this event, but other members of city council. Its pretty typical that the media decided to twist a great story into a nasty one and paint the picture of an evil villain to some.
Its also a shame that there has been no positive attention on this event, especially with the negative attention mental illness and mental health issues receive. Aren't we as a community supposed to be bringing more good into the world? Great article."
Anyways....I am REALLY excited to have Coun. Andrew Prince speaking at this event, I recently met with him to touch base on the event, and he is a super nice guy, with a great positive energy and outlook on life. There are other members from city council attending the event, which is also fantastic. Its great to see the City of Barrie supporting a great cause!
Aside from the event, I got a chance to get a sneak peak at one of the pics from the creative shoot I did with Rowell Photography.....SO BEAUTIFUL! I cannot wait to see the final product!!
Aaaand I am super excited to start working on my Contessa Entry! I haven't competed in a long time! And I have done pretty well in the past competitions I have entered. I just really didn't have the time or finances to compete again. So, here I go!! Wish me luck!! :)
Ok, back to work...gotta get the event stuff all ready for Sunday!!
