2008 Alumnae Retreat - "The Big One"

As you all know the 2008 Alumnae Retreat was last weekend at “The Hill’s”. And we had a great time! We had 15 Members attend… Sam, Jamie, Sarah, Carrie, Catherine, Natalie.D, Susan, Laura, Cheryl.A, Danya, Natalie.B, Amanda, Lonnie, Keri and Mel.

Everyone swam, golfed, rode horses, relaxed, had a friendship meeting, got Spa Treatments, drank lots of wine, re-pledged in a candle light ceremony, played games, sang karaoke, went on a Hayride and had a fire in a Teepee.

As usual we had a busy weekend… but it was a lot of fun. And we are all looking forward to next years retreat already.

Attending a Retreat is one of the best things you can do as a member of this group. It gets you to push your personal boundaries, try new things, and open yourself up to new experiences, all while spending time with your APB Sisters.

Every Sister attends Retreats for a different reason, just like everyone joined the Sorority for a different reason and we have all stayed a member for this long for our own reasons. But attending a Retreat reminds us that we are all part of something we care about, and a group of amazing women who all had different talents, opinions, feelings, thoughts and interests. We are all so unique and powerful in our own way, and being part of this group allows up to learn from each other and enjoy these differences we all have.

The Alumnae Retreats really are a great gift… they allow us to spend one weekend a year with our Friends and Sisters. Thank you, to all of the members who attended! Each of you added something to this weekend by just participating. I hope to see you all the next Retreat!

Hi Girls,

Just a reminder to please mail or email me your photos so I can compile them all. I will also be posting any photos that I receive on Facebook so those who did not attend can see them too. Let me know if there is a particular photo that you would prefer to keep private!!

Updates all around!

Hey all! Seeing as how it has been awhile since my last post, I figured I was due.

So, I'm now at my fiance's house, and he is in Hay River, NWT. He has been there for three weeks now, but it feels like a lifetime. I will only see him once before he comes home for the wedding, and its driving me nuts. Oh well, at least I know it will end.

Wedding plans are coming along. I can't believe it is only two months away! So much for all the time I thought I had! I'm going to Grande Prairie to get my dress this weekend. I'm so excited! Its all starting to come together. I've had so much help and support it has been fabulous. I wish I could have invited all of you to the wedding, but what with both of our families being so large, the wedding got very big very fast! Anywho, I should be going. Glad to hear everyone is doing well! Have fun at the retreat! Take lots of pictures! Ciao! Chelsea

Some good news and some bad news.....

First of all Happy Mother's Day to Ally, Lisa, Gina, Laura, Pam and Trish!! Hope you guys are having a great day!!


Now I have some good news and bad news...

I'll start with the bad news.


I'm seriously bummed because I was really looking forward to mixing up some martinis...maybe some mimosas for breaky at the retreat and having a grand 'ol time away from the kid and hubs....but I won't be able to get down and party hardy at the retreat.






But the good news is the reason I can't:



Baby "holy cow we weren't expecting you" Watts!!
