Happy Year of the Snake!

2025 is the Year of the Snake.  Snakes tend to be very wise and are often deep in thought; they are reliable and loyal but they never forget a slight or betrayal so be warned.  Snakes are enigmatic, intelligent and wise.  Those born in 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2002, 2013 and 2025 are snakes.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah or you treasured winter holiday by celebrating with family and friends.  

Our postponed holiday event will be on January 12th at 2:00......January's "3 at 3" event will now be a "2 at 2".  Announcements have been emailed but there's still time to register; please join us for our first event and general meeting. 

We will welcome ambassadors from the FF Metro Vancouver Club on February 14th to February 18th.  Plan on joining us to meet/renew friendships with the FF Metro Vancouver ambassadors.  Event announcements will be coming out soon. In the meantime, please reach out to Sumi Arnheim, Host Coordinator with any questions.

2025 highlights include an outgoing journey to FF Knoxville, TN in April with Pat Gomez as Ambassador Coordinator.  In September, FFLA will travel to Norderstedt, Germany with Laura Clines and Sumi Arnheim as Co-Ambassador Coordinators. Then in October, we look forward to hosting FF Chiang Mai, Thailand.  More journey information will be shared at our January event.

Again many thanks to all who continue to keep our club going, especially to the Leadership Team--Laura Clines, Judy Francis, Carol Garvey, Pat Gomez and Sharon Lavenberg. 

Your participation is crucial for our club's existence....the first step is attending our events.

In friendship,

Sumi Arnheim, FFLA Leadership Team Chair
