For those of you who have been trying to book tickets for the 50’s/60’s evening next Tuesday using the link that I included it was a dud link. Rather than paste another link if you go to Libby’s post - dated 11th of August you will get straight to the Eventbrite page. I think we are in for a great day next Tuesday. We are pleased to say that we have some guests joining us for the event. Along with the Provost we have MSP’s Councillors and partners who work with us coming to share in what we hope will be a great day.
If you haven’t yet bought your tickets for the evening, then get along to Eventbrite, I know it’s going to be a great evening. We have a wonderful band to take us through two decades of music that we have all grown to love.
It is always good when you can be a part of the development of your staff team. Forget Me Notes are venturing into the world of SVQ qualifications. Who would have thought seven years ago we would be in this position. Not only are our staff team developing but so is the organisation. We are fast becoming a vital part of services available within Edinburgh. Paul and I had a great meeting with a lady from the NHS charged with improving practice and continued development. We all hope that Forget Me Notes will be a part of future developments. It is a great opportunity to influence established ways of working and create something that is dynamic.
We were at Saughton Park on Thursday along with approximately 70 other people. What I find encouraging is that most people are coming specifically to be a part of Forget Me Notes and not just in the park. We had some young children with us to who we gave the name of junior Forget Me Notes. They were great and I wish I had their energy when dancing and singing. They were very much a part of what we are doing.
The Forget Me Notes family is growing and since we have included All Singing and Dancing as a part of our family, we have more than 800 people per month sharing in different activities. Building community does not have to cost a fortune but it does require commitment and enthusiasm.
Hope you have a great week and don’t forget to buy your tickets for the 50’s/60’s evening.
