I need to get back to my blogging. I'm all over TWITTER, FACEBOOK, & my blogs for MeFest, Those2Girls & Stuff To Do..... (all listed on the left side of this page), but haven't done much on personal one lately.
Today is the day!
I decided I needed to express what SYS means to me. If you're a follower of this blog you have heard me mention my SYS pals before. If you're new to following here's the low down.
SYS stands for See You Sunday (pronounced sis)
It's a women's friendship group. We get together every Sunday afternoon for friendship & fun. NO this is NOT a religious group. Everyone assumes since it's on Sunday it has something to do with a church league.
You see most women have a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. We meet at 12:45pm & are usually done by 3:00pm. A couple of hours to hang with some gal pals & have fun.
We try to do something different every week. Everything we do is very low cost & the majority of events are FREEEEEEEE (you know I love that word).
Here's a list off the top of my head of things we've done over the past 3 years
- learned to make Gelata
- financial planning
- tour of the Centre in the Square
- Spa Day
- Pot luck
- Autism speaker
- Pottery Painting
- women's health
- jewellery making
- Disctinctly Tea
- Running Room
- Silver Spoons Chocolates
- Dutch Mill Flower Shop
- Sugar Beads
- Movie
- Waterloo Theatre production & tour
- Clay & Glass gallery tour
- Barbershop singers
- Volunteer at the Record shows
- Fitness 360
- tour of the Healthy Haven
- Portrait artist
- Games day
- Outdoor festivals
- home decor
& of course tons of other things I can't think of right now
But the name of this post is WHAT DOES SYS MEAN TO ME?
It gives me something to look forward to every week. I know I'll have fun seeing my SYS pals & learning lots of things. It's great to be a backyard tourist & not have to head to Toronto just to find something to do. Everyone's age is different so there's such a mix of ideas. I'm there for the friendship & fun (I may have already mentioned that) & I always come away feeling SMARTER!
All of this came out of me putting off laundry!
Are you in the KW area & wish to join SYS? or perhaps you'd like to start a SYS group in your town?
