Gobble, gobble
Howdy, folksAs we approach this holiday weekend, all of here at Compass would like to wish you out there in Alumni-land a Happy Thanksgiving and just restate how thankful we are to have had the chance to work with such a terrific cast of characters over the past months (and years for some of you veterans). We're certainly looking forward to staying connected in the coming days to share successes, challenges, humourous anecdotes, and all other aspects that make our respective journeys so interesting and unique.
Keep the spirits high and the turkey coming, all.

Red letter day
Hi, gangBeing that this is proposal-writing time here at The Good Ship Compass (ie. when we have to write our annual manifesto to Service Canada trying to convince them to fund our program for another year) we're floating a request for letters of support from any past participants who believe our services are important and should be available for another year. Nothing fancy or wordy required, just a few honest thoughts that you think Service Canada should know about what we do and how it may help those in need of some career assistance.
If you're so inclined, here are a couple more details to observe:
1. Please address all letters to Judy Dong at Service Canada
2. Deadline for submissions is October 12th.
3. Many, many, many thanks on behalf of all of us here at Compass.
Hope you're finding all the support you need out there in Lotusland, all.
