Conducting creative and engaging workshops as a volunteer event planner/project leader in my community has opened doors and opportunities I never imagined. A neighborhood house has asked me to lead workshops on a seasonal basis, which I prefer but not sure if I can sustain, given my busy schedule, heheh.

Recently, while searching for a boardroom for my next NSG workshop, two community centres offered to partner with me by adding their participants and one possibly funding future workshops. This gave me a good idea, now I can pick the best among the three community centres that would help me spend more towards the event instead of on the venue.

As an NSG project leader, committee member and a volunteer in the NSG Network, I was interviewed by the latter for an hour about my previous workshopsā€”and accordingly I will be receiving a double honorarium for the interview I've conducted for them and for being interviewed too. šŸ˜€

Iā€™m especially excited to have been chosen as one of three project leaders to help stage the NSG Anniversary celebration this autumn, where Iā€™ll also get to share some of my creativity. For this, I may offer our dance group to do a number - are you OK with it Flashbacks?šŸ„°

Another full-house workshop just two weeks after the last one at which hosted the event too - thank you and looking forward to more seniors-led workshop in the community.

Honestly, I donā€™t think Iā€™ll do them so close together againā€”it was pretty hectic with all the scripts, powerpoint shows, coordinationā€¦ and even squeezing in dance practice. šŸ˜…

But it was worth it. We had such engaging activities, amazing storytellers, singers, and cultural dancers, thanks much to all of you.
For the first time, I used a timer to help with time managementā€”it worked well, though the speakers felt a little rushed, heheh, so Iā€™ll give them more time next round.

Thanks a lot to my fellow seniors and friends and to my Flashbacks group too for all the kind assistance.

We have had 4 awesome storytellers. Here's an intro to the most colorful and inspiring story about living and working in China in the 90s.
The storyteller was a retired corporate executive in the manufacturing operations in the Asia Pacific region including China.

I made a video out of his pictures.

I've submitted proposals to various community centres to sponsor senior workshops, and I'm pleased to share that Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House has agreed to host one. They'll provide the space, along with snacks and drinks.
These workshops aim to create a fun, inclusive space where seniors can connect, share personal stories, celebrate diverse cultures, and embrace our shared humanity.

Meanwhile, I'm busy rehearsing a Filipino cultural dance with friends (so weā€™ll have a ready group for future presentations) and recruiting storytellers and dancers from other backgrounds too.
What a full summer!

Our workshop was attended by people of different background and cultures.
This video has inspired me to wish for another workshop featuring cultural appreciation and a heartfelt call for peace and unity. šŸ™
Our musician, Gab was dancing here with majority Iranian Canadian seniors. He used to work in the Middle East before coming to Canada as a foreign student, and so quite happy to enjoy this beat and sound once again. Heartwarming!

After more than 1.5 hours of emceeing ā€” all talks memorized, I still had enough energy to hit the dance floor every time the music played, like nobody's watchingšŸ’ƒ. If our seniors who are 93 and 90 years old can, why can't we? šŸ˜€

As project leader, I believe in leading with joy. We definitely had fun as shown here. Kudos and thanks to our volunteer line dance teachers who religiously share their time and skills with the community so everyone can learn to dance and socialize.

Hereā€™s a sneak peek into our fun and interactive workshop!
The energy was great, and we're all quite thrilled šŸ’„ all the prep, planning, and little panic moments were totally worth it!

I just wrapped up my Timeless Tales workshop and it was a hit!
Delivered with flying colors -- literally, thanks to the colorful scarves we used for the chair exercise, lols.
Iā€™d say it was one of the best Iā€™ve done so far. The energy in the room was great, and the warm kudos and appreciation from participants made it even more rewarding.

We featured some truly high-calibre storytellers and guest speakers ā€” from a multi-awarded Toastmasters champion, to a professional writer who contributed to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and a poet who received a Lifetime Achievement Award from World Poetry to stimulating stories of resilience and dreams. Every one of the five speeches was inspiring, uplifting, and left us all wanting more.

The fun didnā€™t stop there ā€” we had teamwork mingle bingo, skits, acting, demo, scarf art, music, food and of course, dancing! We truly connected, created, and shared so many laughs.

I canā€™t wait to run another one before the year ends.

Hereā€™s the poster for my exciting workshop this month!
Spots are filling up fast, so text or email me if youā€™re interested.
Lots to prepare, but Iā€™m thrilled ā€” and grateful for the help and support from my amazing friends and fellow seniors.

May, my birthday month, brought lovely surprisesā€”from family and friendsā€™ celebrations to an unexpected call from the Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) program.
Last Thursday, I was invited to join the NSG Committee to help review applications, and I gladly acceptedā€”gaining valuable experience and a few perks along the way.

We had our orientation today, and application reviews will run from Tuesday to Sunday, followed by a supervisor review before cheques are issued next Tuesday.
Project Leaders will have their orientation on May 31, once grants are approved and cheques distributed.
I now wear two hats: NSG Committee Member and Project Leader.

On top of that, Iā€™m also part of the NSG Network's Story Gathering Team, collecting community stories in various roles from late May through June.

And not to forgetā€”Iā€™ll also be preparing and delivering my NSG workshop in June.

With all that going on, I think line dancing might be my only break, lols.

My dear friends gathered together two days after my birthday to celebrate it - kudos to all of you! šŸ’ž

We had lots of fun using creativity - from decorating the place including a mochi cake, carving fruits, tying scarf, drawing game, to singing & dancing, of course šŸ˜Š.
Here are the samples of said creativity.

Another day, another volunteer adventure!
Since retiring, my calendar is somehow more packed than when I was working ā€” who knew that was possible?
But honestly, I love it. It keeps me moving, keeps me laughing, and gives my aging brain a fun little workout.
Who says retirement is about slowing down?
