Silver and Gold Magazine Winter 2014-2015 | Page 3

From the Founder & Publisher individual families, not-for-profit organizations, as well as corporate initiatives. Now you take your pick! But back to soup... We are an international country and Halton/Hamilton regions certainly fit the description more and more each day. I love it! And so our soup recipes feature some of our most favourite dishes for this season and ones we don’t commonly hear about. Hope you try one out! It’s true: Winter is not my favourite season – with one exception: Soup! Late October we held our first “Empowering Women” workshop and it was very well received. Due to that positive feedback we’re now presenting our second workshop and one which I believe fits the bill for all of you en-route to prepare your taxes. Will you join us this time? I’m a big fan of soup and I could eat it year round (although honestly most often I skip summer). Aside from warm and hearty, soup is incredibly healthy, especially if you are able to make your own. And if you’ve been following Silver & Gold for the past few years you would know that we are big supporters of the Soupfest event in Hamilton. Have you been yet? Finally, I’d like to thank our awesome advertisers and also you, our loyal reader, for making this another successful year for our great little magazine. As the year comes to a close and another one begins, I hope you will continue to get involved and be a part of something very special, local, and worthwhile. Community is what it’s all about! In putting together the content for this issue, it dawned on me that we all really need community support. Soupfest does for sure, but so many others do, and especially at this time of year. Merry Christmas, happy holidays, happy new year, and all that jazz! As always, keep your letters coming, This is the basis of this issue of Silver & Gold, and since ‘tis the season for giving, what better than to show our readers how we can support one another on a local level.
