July is a month for the great outdoors, staycations, or whatever form of great escape is most therapeutic for you. It is also a splendid month for day trips and outdoor festivals. Arts Alive! Qu\u00e9bec<\/a> will be at Huntingdon<\/strong> in the Chateauguay valley on Saturday July 8, the Morrin Centre<\/strong> in Quebec City (August 3-4), and Knowlton<\/strong> in the Eastern Townships (August 3-5). These are all beautiful places to visit with wonderful activities and events lined up, so I hope to see you there!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, back in the office we have had some changes in staff. Naima Phillips<\/strong>, who joined ELAN last fall as our Membership Services Coordinator, has had to leave us. During her eight months with us, Naima made a strong contribution toward implementing new services and incorporating membership more deeply into ELAN’s processes, projects, and communications. We wish Naima all the best.<\/p>\n

Emily Enhorning<\/strong>, who was working with Naima as membership assistant, has assumed the role of Interim Membership Services Coordinator. Emily will be assisted by Isabelle Shi<\/strong> (Membership Assistant) and Jennifer Broydell<\/strong> (Special Projects Assistant) over the summer months as we complete a major overhaul of ELAN\u2019s on-line membership system. Krista Muir<\/strong> has also joined us for the summer as Arts Alive! Qu\u00e9bec Communications Assistant. We are pleased to welcome such a skilled and enthusiastic group to our team.<\/p>\n

We are also writing final reports on projects from last winter\/spring, and preparing new projects for the fall, as well as ELAN’s 14th Annual General Meeting<\/a> on August 27. We will have plenty of news next month. For now, let’s make the most of the fleeting pleasures of July.<\/p>\n
