S.E.N.S. Events (December)

  1. NEWSLETTER EDITOR POSITION—I have been the editor of the SENS newsletter for the past number of years. My family has moved away from the Okanagan, and therefore wish to ask if a reader has an interest in organizing the newsletter going forward. Perhaps consider sharing the newsletter planning with another reader/editor each month! Please send me an email at amylaycocksens@gmail.com,  for more details. Also please contact SENS sec-treasurer Julia (jblissau@telus.net) to notify her of your interest and to ask questions.
