Team Meeting

We had our first full Team Meeting yesterday at the CARE Canada office in Ottawa. While it was good to meet everyone face-to-face I already knew all the members thanks to Facebook. We were easily able to get along instantly. I think we have a really good group and will have an enjoyable hike.

There were a few others at the meeting who are considering joining the CARE Kili climb for 2011. Also in attendance were several CARE staff who have already done Kilimanjaro and they were extremely useful in answering our myriad of questions. A reporter from Metro News asked a few questions and took this photo of the Ottawa area climbers. (The reporter was only interested in the local climbers. This turned out to be a big mistake as the story was picked up nation-wide. The photo I've attached here came from the Vancouver Metro.) It makes me realise that we missed a great opportunity for a full group photograph before we start the trip. We have to start thinking ahead!
