Thank you Cecelia, I will be there, hopefully my wife (Sandra) will be able to make it as we'll. Can I assist with anything? Brent

Cecelia has asked me to let people know that, if they have question, they should contact her at cecelia@santiago.ca . I have never heard of any chapter coordinator turning down an offer of help.

Thank you for letting us know. I will be there.

Less than 2 months before I leave!

Hi Brent, I'm sure you can. There are always chairs to put up and take down and a variety of other last minute things to do - so if you and Sandra get there a few minutes early we'll definitely put you to work. Thanks for the offer.
Lindseh,
I'm looking forward to meeting you and your father. You can definitely answer questions about what it's like to walk with others-especially family! I'm going to take a look at your vlog when I get a chance.
Glen - less than two months - that's exciting! It's about the same for me.
See you all there.
Austin - thanks very much for getting the notices and followup done so quickly.
Cecelia

Hi Cecelia
I am trying to get in touch with two Canadians from Vancouver whom I met on the Camino between Sarria and Santiago de Compostela in June 2010. I came across your thread and thought it might be worth a try and that someone in your group may know them. They were sister-in-law and brother-in-law and were called Julie and Robert. I have no surnames.

Hi Michael, I don't know them personally but I'll put it out to the group and see if anyone does. We're having a meeting this February as well so I'll be in touch with the group very soon.
Regards
Cecelia
