[Viva] Not coming

Tue Dec 6 12:12:24 PST 2011

Thanks Ally, that is very helpful indeed!  I am looking forward to the ViVA
AGM report and it is very gratifying to see that so many people went to the
meeting.  I think that ViVA has certainly come into its own and that it has
so much to offer women who are HIV positive.

Thanks also for your feedback on John.  I totally trusted him with the
presentation, but the fact that he stepped up on such short notice was
amazing and I felt very lucky for his knowledge.  I have to send him a
thank you card and I am sure some Okanagan chocolates would not go amiss!
 I am glad you enjoyed the part on twitter because I find it the social
media tool that I use the most.

Thanks Ally!

Denise
