John Simmons Tickles Our Funny Bone

What a delightful surprise to have received an impromptu donation by Executive Women International's recent Guest Speaker John Simmons. At the January 18th EWI General Meeting, John presented to the membership his insightful and hilarious look into the inner psyche of the male co-worker. 

John is an award winning educator who has been delivering workshops, seminars and keynote addresses since 1989. He is also the author of The Power of Humor: Top Ten Ways to Lighten Up Your Workplace (without getting fired!). 

John sold a dozen books that evening and generously donated the proceeds to Highbanks. For a funny guy, John is truly a big heart! Thanks again!

Christmas Blessings

Happy New Year, everyone!
We have had a fabulous year at Highbanks and look forward to another great year of hope, inspiration and living life to it’s fullest!

To begin the New Year we must begin with thanks.  This past Christmas Highbanks’ families were blessed yet again by the Soroptimist women of Calgary who generously donated an enormous bounty of gifts for our young mothers and their children.  Not one family was lacking in blessing at Highbanks and we can attribute it to all of our thoughtful and generous donors!  Thank you, women of Soroptimist, for your detailed consideration and benevolent spirits.  We are extremely grateful!
