Pub Night at The Firkin

Untitled Document by Fei Min Lorente, President

Who says technical communication is boring? The Southwestern Ontario Chapter got the year off to a fantastic start by meeting at The Firkin during Okoberfest. Completely informal, the attendees were free to talk about business, or not. Most of the council was there, so it was a great opportunity to meet the people who are planning your events and spending your money.

Welcome to the new recruits who came out that evening and volunteered to help the chapter:
  • Ann Garniss will be helping with Education Days, which are our annual workshops.
  • Sian Waterfield will be helping with competitions.
  • Dwight Baer will be helping with the Heidi Thiessen Memorial Award (the student award competition).
We had an enthusiastic response to this social get-together, and we'll plan more of these in the future. Thanks to Rob Cundari who had this great idea and who did the organizing.
Isn't that interesting? President Fei Min Lorente listens
intently to the conversation over chicken fingers and fries.



I can visualize all kinds of things while I'm wearing this hat.

Everyone's happy during Oktoberfest, especially with a drink and that hat.

What do you really think about the virtues of Irish stout vs. a winter porter?
