[Viva] changes ....

[Kath Webster]

Wow, it's the end of an era for you Margarite...  Your commitment has been unwavering and clearly straight from the heart.  No doubt, you will be very missed !  Much appreciation for all you have done and will continue to do for women living with HIV. ❤️

However, I've been doing this every month now for 5 years and I am finding the travel to and from Vancouver every month exhausting (it is at least 10 hours each trip!). I hope you understand,

I'm glad to be part of this beautiful strong community of poz women and I feel like I have so many friends now that I didn't have when I started these groups.
