The stang calendar now has all the birthdays added to it. If you use Google Calendar then you can subscribe to it and add it to your other calendars or using the iCal link, you can add the calendar to almost any calendar program.

The Stang history section of the website is much improved. The detailed history is now split into chapters with files and pictures. It is a very interesting read if you have never checked it out. Also, if anyone has suggestions on good pictures to add to the chapters that have none then let me know.

You were victorious! YOU, together with other courageous Walkers raised $4 million through the 2008 Weekend to End Breast Cancer®. Thanks to you, the Alberta Cancer Foundation will continue to fund new and innovative breast cancer research, expand and enhance breast screening initiatives and benefit patients and families at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and throughout Alberta.
We are all so proud of you and thank you for your commitment and inspiration!

Just think; with every dollar you raised and every step you took, we are closer to putting an end to breast cancer forever.

If your at all interested in Stang history/geneaology - you should check out www.volmervillage.com. Some very interesting stuff - for example you can find the links ship lists where:
- on August 20, 1909, the SS Megantic left Liverpool bound for Quebec where it arrived on September 2. On that ship, was a five-year-old boy named Peter Stang who final destination was a place called Macklin, Saskatchewan...
If you want to know your heritage, why many Germans went to Russia in the first place and then why they left for North & South America - it's a real interesting read.
