April 18, 2025 Chautauqua

Beth's Ponderings

   I’ve been hearing a few people express their extreme displeasure in Alberta, and Canada. 

   If you are truly that unhappy, you are more than free to leave.  If you feel that the grass is better and greener south of the 49th, by all means, move there, and be happy.

   HOWEVER…

   If/when you do leave, and no one is stopping you from going, you travel alone.  You DO NOT get to take me, my province, nor my country with you when you go!!  Alberta remains in Canada! (Thankfully the majority of residents agree, and the process is QUITE onerous to leave)

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   On April 2nd I received a phone call to let me know that the press that prints the Chautauquas for me is closing the end of April.  (Thanks for the advanced warning folks!)

   I am investigating options to continue to print the Chautauqua, and will keep you posted. 

   After going through the quote process last year, I’m really hoping for better results this time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vote on April 28th!
