Very pleased (and excited) to report that today, at 1:23pm, The Dream Society (Penticton) officially came into being! This is, in many ways, just the beginning. But so many other things depended on this that it feels like we've made a huge leap forward. And now that we've done that, we can start taking a whole lot more off our todo lists.

Now that everything's official, I'm very pleased to...

Hello, friends. The last couple of weeks haven’t been as fast-moving as I’d hoped, but any disappointment I might be feeling has been eclipsed by something far more energizing: i.e., the people signing on to be Directors of The Dream Society. We’re still hoping to add one or two more before incorporation, but the six who’ve already stepped forward all have much to add. We’ve had a couple of...

Pleased to report that incorporation of The Dream Society isn't far off. Until last week, that wasn't even possible as a result of the BCGEU strike.

I’ve also been in ongoing discussions with the co-op’s board about the purchase of its assets and the possible transfer...

Today was the big day: the "soft" launch for The Dream Society.

The event was organized and hosted by Aaron McRann from **Community Foundation...

With it looking increasingly likely that The Dream Cafe will be resurrected, I thought some people might be interested in how this came to be. And if not, well, suffice it to say that I’d like to record it lest I forget what happened. (I am 60, after all.) Quite a bit has transpired already, so this initial post will be a bit lengthy. Going forward, I’ll try to keep them shorter.
