SARC Medicine Hat - "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes"
President Gordon Wallsmith welcomed Christina Johnson, Regional Coordinator with the Sexual Assault Response Committee to our meeting. Christina spoke about the upcoming “Walk a Mile in her Shoes” Event. This is an International Men’s Walk and she challenged our incoming president, Jace Anderson, to join the walk, wearing appropriately fitted, but nonetheless, stylish red high-heeled shoes.
His predecessors, Gordon Wallsmith and Sean Blewett, walked the mile and lived to tell it. The walk is scheduled for June 4th at 2 p.m. It is to raise awareness of sexual abuse/sexual assault and pay honour to victims and survivors. Please support Jace through donations. Karen Charlton and Coreen Dolan strongly suggest that Jace consider panty hose to accompany the red shoes.

Happy dollars: Bill led the way to acknowledge his pleasure at Corrie’s decision. There were many more. We also learned that one person’s happy experience (Craig’s at the election results) was another person’s sad experience (Karen’s). Oh, such is life.
