This is the first post for 2015. Here are a few photos of the party we had at Carol and Fred Dowe's home, where it all began. Lots of things have happened since, and we are moving to get things organized. First off, here are two important dates to mark on your calender:

1) Sun. Feb. 1, 2:00 p.m. Annual General Meeting, at the Christian Fellowship Centre, 825 Village Way, Qualicum Beach. 

2) Mon. Feb. 2, 7:00 p.m. Qualicum Beach Council meeting for the delegation of us, presenting on the intersection of Village Way and Qualicum Road safety.

Carol suggests it would be great if any of you could write a letter

to her, addressed to the Mayor and Council regarding your concerns about safety on Village Way and Qualicum Road, with your name and address at the bottom of the letter.These letters are powerful!  They will be included in the package and presentation on Feb. 2 to the Council.   

Carol Dowe also promised me a list of e-mail addresses, so I can let you all know about our blog and newsletter. The URL for our blog is 

www.qwoodsra.blogspot.com where you can see our posts. Feel free to comment with improvements, add-ons, etc. At the general meeting we can discuss how we want to set up the blog, newsletter etc. 

This will be a short post, more after the meeting. See you there.
