And the peanut gallery speaks.... :)

See what happens, ya dangle a little swag like a gas card (vroom vroom) out for grabs and all of sudden it's a horserace on the blogspot. First off, I want to know who's this person writing under Stephanie's name and what have you done with her? My my, who'd have thought such a funny writer lay underneath that cool, I'm on it attitude of hers. Kudo's to you my little chickadee.

For that....I see gas card in your future....and I'm not talking about the kind of gas you say "ooops, excuse me....."

The Swag Gnome strikes again.....

of course though, there will be a smattering of treats in the office on Dundas Street.

Oh and Mary, Mary Quite Contrary. If can ever illicit more than a line out of you....you can count on an LCBO card. Nothing says loving like a decent little bottle of something to go with a lovely bbq steak. :) Make mine a double.

much respect to my staff,

The QD

Work or blog? Work or blog? What are the girls to do?

It's a TEAM THING!

The three girls working together to deal with the ever-present blogging dilemma.

Friday afternoon at the FAME office - working or blogging?

To blog or not to blog.... that is the FAME question.

Here we are frantically working to meet tight deadlines set for us by our ED and job demands and low and behold in walks the Temptress herself, enticing us with swag to blog.
Here is the dilemma - do we blog for gas cards, coffee, booze and/or chocolate OR do we complete our assigned tasks with the sole reward of personal satisfaction?

As you can see, we are easily motivated by the instant gratification of worldly pleasures!

Our eyes are on the prizes.....

the Hugger, the Ok-er, the Diva-in-training

Another year wrapped up...

What an exciting 2 weeks! 4 parties, 13 volunteers and staff, delicious food, creative family activities, engaging musical entertainment, and countless donated door prizes and gifts. I am so pleased to report that each event was thoroughly enjoyed by the participants and each one had its own creative flair developed by the event planning volunteers. FAME was so fortunate this year to acquire the assistance of 4 individuals with an event management background. Thanks to Rosanna, Rohan, Nicole, and Jacob for all your effort this summer.

These events are also a great opportunity for me to connect with our families across the regions and to work closely with each Family Outreach Worker. I look forward to them every year.

A big thank you to all the FAME staff and volunteers for working together and pulling off another successful year!
