Sisters help to make the bad times easier and the easy times more fun


Winters in Ottawa are long and cold, so we're inviting you to take part in our Secret Sister program to add a little fun and friendship to the darkest days.

Each participant will receive the name of another member in confidence. 
The goal is to send friendly and encouraging messages to your secret friend at least three times during this period. ( YOUR secret friend will be sending messages to YOU too!)  You can include a small, inexpensive gift ($5 max.) where feasible. Take care not to reveal your identify during this time, but do plan to join  our special Secret Sisters zoom meeting in late February  where  all secrets  will be revealed.

Gifts and messages should be sent in December, January, and February.

Use your imagination and ingenuity to create these little gifts.  (Perhaps make something from  items that you have  currently in your home?) 

Some ideas ...

* December: A Christmas card, homemade baking, jam, or marinade.  

* January: Make a "chill-pill" jar with various little treats "to be taken as needed."  Include  an amusing story, or a puzzle.

* February: Something from the heart 

To join in the fun, contact 

Suzanne MacKeen at suzannemackeen@gmail.com or  613-858-0137 by DECEMBER 1ST.

Suzanne will look after matching the names in secret

If you have any other questions about the project,  please contact Betty Bertrand at bettybe@rogers.com 613-721-9658
