It is beautiful day in Vancouver now. I just got home from Victoria and Galiano Island. My roommate and I went to Victoria for Ibu Wil birthday party and fundraising and after that we went to galiano visit friend there.

Ibu Wil Birthday –fundraising- party
Happy birthday to you, Ibu Wil. Actually her berthday is today (June 12). She had great idea to have a party on Saturday and invited people over and did a fund rising. We raise $500 from Ibu Wil birthday party. Thank you so much for people to come and to donate; Lynda Paterson, Ted and Lyn and Allison, Audry and her husband, Wendy Wimbush, Lil, Joyce and of course baby Joee (I hope I am not misspelling, sorry Joyce), Robin, Jerome and his boy, and off course Tony and Bonice family with all the chidren. Thank you to Monique and Ellen for sending money too. Thank you so much friends. Special thanks to Ibu Wil for her hard work to organize everything and for the donation as well.
After the party, we had small discussion about to whom we will send to donation. We think that it will be better to send to Rina’s organization (http://www.sheepindonesia.org/); and I have planned to send it in June 16, this coming Friday. Now we have raise $750 and all is in my vancity account.
