Always a highlight of the CWC’s fall calendar, this year’s new members’ reception on October 6th was truly a delightful evening. As is the tradition, one of our members welcomed us to her lovely home, the CWC executive team supplied the hor d’oeuvres and with a glass of wine or two, an evening of great conversation was enjoyed by all.
This year, Denise Brooks offered her spacious flat in St. John’s Wood and her beautifully decorated fall table was the setting for a tempting array of tasty nibbles, all created by members of our executive team. However, at this point, our tradition was given a new twist…we were invited to sample several wines from small French vintners, all supplied by our own wine connoisseur and CWC office manager, Marie France Boutet. Everyone agreed that they were of exceptional quality. Not only were they pleasing to the palate but also a great ‘ice breaker’ as we chatted with our newest members, their husbands and partners.
Following warm words of welcome from both our Honorary President, Donna Thomson and CWC President, Teresa Howe, we learned that some of our new members are newcomers to this great city while others have made London their home for decades, having only recently discovered the CWC on Canada Day in Trafalgar Square or through the Internet. Whatever the tenure…a short stay or long term residence...we are so pleased to have you join us!
