R:ED Event - Summer Cocktails 101	On Monday June 22 R:ED members gathered for an educational/social event. Andrew Penner, a former R:ED member, prepared a variety of cocktails and martinis. We had an opportunity to taste each, learn the tips and techniques and we were given the recipes as a handout (available for download from members-only section).  It was fun evening!

R:ED Meeting - Artists in the Exchange	Red may only be one colour in an artist's spectrum, but on March 25, 2009, R:ED was the only colour!  We held our 1st annual Artists in the Exchange event.  It was a great opportunity to meet local artists, hear from them and to view their work.  Hopefully, it will also lead to some sales!
		Thanks to Doug Wiebe of the Exchange Church for hosting this event and to the organizing cttee of Bill Thiessen (who also donated the refreshments), Christian Worthington, Doug Wiebe & John Giavedoni.
