gwe...Greetings or hello

This marks the 100th edition of Virtual Voices, a significant milestone for those of us who put out weekly announcements.

Most weeks there have been video recordings. The odd week the news goes out in email format. Some weeks there are so many activities its hard to squeeze them all in during the 10 minutes or less we try to keep the recording; other weeks there isn't too much new to announce. The weeks when news is slow are the more challenging ones to put together. You can help by making sure we hear about meetings, programs, or gatherings -routine or one offs, as well as celebrations and news people in our Community of Faith would be interested to hear.

A huge thanks goes out to Bill Millett who has ensured every edition, video recording or written message, went out by news blast. We still love the name Virtual Voices suggested by Ilene Maund and the illustration of the name designed by Jenn Smith.

June 21st is National Indigenous People's Day. If you are interested in learning more about Indigenous people in our area, predominantly the Wabanaki Peoples, check out this resource. While it was designed with educators in mind, it is also a simple to use and interesting read. Check out several of the various subjects. The purpose of marking not only June 21st but the month is to understand more about the history, culture, and languages of Indigenous people.
