OCTOBER MEETING

We all welcomed Collette as our new mentor.  We also welcomed Sue A to the group as a new member.

Collette led discussions related to a future collaborative project, we brainstormed our ideas onto long sheets of paper which we will add to in future months. We need to research some of the ideas suggested, bringing to each meeting our findings.  This will be a long term project probably over more than one year.

In the afternoon we all had an individual session with Collette to discuss our ongoing projects,  research suggestions on progressing our ideas were given by Collette.
