About this Event
And we have reach December! Last month of this special year!
We know these are difficult times for everyone. COVID-19 has affected our work and personal lives, and we worry about the uncertainty, the future and the status of this pandemia here in Canada and in our home countries.
We have been living this for at least 9 months…
So, for December we propose you to celebrate ourselves! Yes! 2020 has been more than COVID.
Our IWS national network has made amazing progress… Our local chapter too! And we know each one of our members have something to be proud of!
So please think about what had made you proud this year, what have you accomplish, personal, professional, anything you can think of.
So, join us for a virtual get together to celebrate ourselves, reconnect and have a bit of fun! Let’s finish the year the best we can hoping for a great 2021!
Looking forward to seeing you there in great number! This will be a relax meet up, feel free to join us while you are cooking dinner, having your dinner, doing laundry, drinking your tea or a glass of wine.
