On June 27, 2013 we had our summer party at a beach between Nyon and Geneva, surrounded by the beautiful landscape and the charming atmosphere of Lake Leman. The weather was on our side because it did not rain. Although it was not too hot, the great energy circulating between us, as well as the desire to share a fun evening together, created a very beautiful and lovely ambiance, which made us forget about the cooler weather.
The purpose of the party, for members and non members, was to spend a pleasant and informal evening all together. It was a great success and we had many attendees. The idea of the Canadian picnic was for everyone to bring some food to share. I think sharing is one of the great merits of OWIT.
The party started around at 7 pm, in front of a charming and enchanting sunset we laid some tables cloths and put out the food: bread, cakes, pasta, meat, wine. Everything was really tempting. While we were eating we chatted amongst ourselves, and met and discovered new people; the atmosphere was amazing: friendly, full of positive energy, full of the desire, that unites all of us, of sharing experiences and learning from others.
We did a game all together in a circle, the energy flowing was tangible.
I went home motivated and satisfied with the evening and I believe that others went home with a great memory of the party as well.
