a little first aid.

Today and tomorrow Liz and Marcia are taking the St. John's Ambulance first aid training in Fredericton. Kevin and I will be taking it on Thursday and Friday. It is important that we all have at least some basics in first aid as we run events and programs here at A.N.B.C. for people of all ages. There are a couple of other courses that we will need to take as well before summer hits. I will need to have the boat safety course in order to operate the new boat. Kevin and I are also hoping to be able to take the food handling course this Spring. All of these courses are important for the various aspects of the ministry here at Arrowhead.

We've been having a snowy winter to be sure! On Saturday I spent several hours shoveling the two feet of snow off the roof of our home. Talk about a good workout! It's a good thing I did shovel the roof, Saturday night we got a foot of very wet heavy snow. I've been getting lots of experience operating the tractor and blowing the snow out of the roads at the center. It is actually quite relaxing... shoveling the snow of the roof... not so relaxing.


Lately, I've been thinking about looking into getting a quad. A four-wheeler would certainly be useful to me here for getting around the property. Not sure how that'll work out, but you never know, the right deal may just present itself!

There is lots of planning happening for the upcoming events at A.N.B.C., the Men's Retreat is shaping up nicely. And Kevin tells me the need for speakers and staff for camp are beginning to fill up. We will be sending out applications with the Arrowhead Prayer Magazine, 'The Quiver'... so watch for them and get them back to us asap. It's going to be an awesome year!
