“In the midst of darkness, light persists.”   – Mahatma Gandhi

Every December, as the days get shorter & shorter, the imminent arrival of Winter on Dec 21, motivates me to create a story about the past year.  You would think that since the darkness comes sooner each day, there would be more time to create, in the evenings.  However, the evenings seem filled with social functions. I enjoy visiting and seeing my neighbours and friends so away we go to the concert, the music jam, the festival of lights, the Games Nite or the Cantata.  My helpers must believe that they have joined a social butterfly for this season!

This 2024 Update is joining a tradition started many years ago and it will hopefully be informative, entertaining and mildly educational.  This year’s Update is more of a photo essay than some of the other Updates.  I am always extremely grateful when my crew takes outstanding photos and videos and share them with me.  There are funny videos, educational ones and some excellent photos.

The names of those who are not regular volunteers, friends and family do not appear in these stories.  However, your images will be part of the effort to record the events of the past year.  I hope that you will enjoy reliving the memories you have, of time spent at Winning Ways.
