Celebrating Menna

We were so proud to be invited to celebrate the presentation of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee award to our family friend, the fabulous Menna. She works tirelessly year-round to help with all manner of charitable endeavours, it was fabulous to see her  recognized for her efforts. She attended a very posh ceremony in the afternoon at Rideau Hall, the home of the Governor-General, then we all congregated at Rhiannon and Matt's house to raise our glasses in her honour. As expected, Menna was very modest about her grand achievement but we were thrilled to hear about all the excitement she went through at the ceremony, apparently thanks to the alphabetization process, she got to go first! We are proud to be such great friends with her and her family, they have always been there for us and treat Oliver and Isabelle royally. Congratulations, Menna, it's a tremendous accomplishment and it couldn't be bestowed on a better person. Hooray, Menna!

What a tremendous honour! Bravo Menna!
