Natives News 209

29 August 2008


Hi there,
Despite the grey skies and impending doom of the credit crunch, our spirits have stayed high thanks to the spectacular performance of our medal-winning athletes in Beijing. Is anyone else relishing the feelgood factor these athletes have given us? Here's hoping the winning formula rubs off on the Vancouver 2010 team!
