Team Norms for Better Meetings Workshop
The Education Committee will be hosting two workshops based on Robert’s Rules of Order and Team norms for better meetings. They have contracted Carmen Wyton of Ripple Enterprises to conduct two 30 minute presentations.
This is part two – Meeting Norms and Practices. Based on outcomes from the Robert’s Rulesdiscussion, a collaborative workshop will be facilitated to establish meeting norms that all members are comfortable with. The intent is to establish expectations for meetings, and to have a known plan of action when meetings go off track.
The presentation will be followed by a 15 – 20 minute question and answer period. Carmen is inviting us to collect questionsthat she will answer during the workshops. Please submit questions to shceducation@shaw.ca
Please plan to attend – we know Robert’s Rules may not be the most exciting topic for many of us, but we feel it is important for our community.
These workshops will be presented on Zoom and recorded so members can view them later.

Please meet your fellow members at the food forest at 10am on Sunday, August 7th to do some weeding and mulching! Our wonderful food forest is thriving but needs a bit of TLC and a new layer of mulch. Many hands make light work! :)

Co-op Yard Sale
Get that spring cleaning and purging done, and hang on to those items for 2 more weeks. The Social Committee is resurrecting The Great Sunnyhill Co-op Yard Sale.
Sunday June 12th! 1:00-4:00
This is the opportunity to keep still-useful-to-someone items out of the landfill. The Yard Sale will take place along the pathways of our Common Space.
Tables are available if you have lots of items, but you can also just set ip a blanket if you like. Advertising will go out to the local community prior to the event.
If you have items to give away but don’t want to have a table, there will be a designated area for “free stuff”
(Make sure to come take a look!)
If you want to use a table from the garage, contact the Social Committee via the office (403-270-8405, or sunnyhill@shaw.ca).
Post Yard-Sale Co-op Social Firepit
Join your co-op neighbours for a drink and a hot dog, and maybe a roasted marshmallow or two over the fire pit, after everything is wrapped up from the yard sale in the afternoon. Beef and veggie dogs, buns, chips, Craft brew and pop supplied by the Social Committee.
Special Bonus: Friends are bringing cake and ice cream to celebrate Sherry K’s 65th birthday that day. Sherry has been a continually active member of Sunnyhill since the coop was 2 years old! Come join us to mark the event!

Sunnyhill Christmas Party
On the evening of December 16th listen carefully and you will hear Carollers a-wassailing from door to door at 7pm. They are joined by Father Christmas himself who will be delivering holiday cheer to every house.
Then, don your toque and mittens and join your neighbours around a fire pit by the lending library. There will be hot drinks, chips, cookies and marshmallows for roasting.
At 8pm Father Christmas will sit at the fire and share a story or two while the Carollers inspire us with more songs to come together in harmony.
BYO Cups and roasting rods.
Merry Christmas, one and all.

Blue Apple Kids Art Collective Deadline
Here’s your first project:
Draw or paint or write about your favorite mammal. It might be a cat or a whale or my favorite mammal which is a “knotted back carpet shark” which is a mammal that lives in the sea and in carpeted living rooms and only eats barbecue brushes. Imagine that!
This project starts on October 1 and the deadline for dropping your art off is October 9.
