How scarey that date looks – but welcome to the second decade of the 21st century! Before plunging into the new year, a little catch up on the last quarter of 2019.
We were by no means idle – having successfully trained as new Active Listeners, Letitia Evans and Allison Clark who were welcomed to our team by President, Heather Moorhead at the November council meeting and duly presented with their certificates and handbooks.
At the June council meeting Heather had introduced her ‘Where Do We Want To Be?’ initiative and as part of this, we held the first of a series of discussion groups, this one focussing on prostate cancer. The all-male event attracted some 13 participants who all appreciated the opportunity to discuss the subject and to find out more about symptoms, diagnostic tests and the various treatment options available. Some men had already undergone treatment, some had possible symptoms, whilst others had no current symptoms. Following on from the success of this group, we will be holding an all-female one early in the new year, followed by a mixed session later on.
As it is not all work and no play here at DELot, we rounded off the year with our Christmas lunch, held at the newly-renovated La Chartreuse hotel on the bank of the river Lot In Cahors. A great opportunity to meet in an informal setting and enjoy good company and excellent food and wine!
