Grand Opening Celebration at Heather KING for Mayor's Headquarters!
The heritage building was just a buzzing with excitement on Sunday at Heather KING for Mayor's campaign headquarters Grand Opening!
The Grand Opening Celebration had plenty of themes that I noticed:
Purple Attire:
I didn't get the memo, but many supporters showed up in PURPLE to show their support for Heather KING for Mayor!
 |
| Bret, Heather, Carol (Bret's Granny) |
 |
| Pauline Basi and Heather (Andy's in the background) |
Carol is a star, not just because she is wearing PURPLE in support of Heather, but because she brought her grandson - a first time voter!
Bravo Carol!
Pauline in PURPLE .
Pauline and Heather have been friends for years -- ever since Heather was first elected to the School Board in 2002. Pauline works for the School Board
Check out Andy Basi's website. He is a Candidate for School Board Trustee and in my opinion a very good choice. Engage Andy on twitter @AndyBasi.
 |
| Neil Corbett - proudly wearing PURPLE |
Neil Corbett, candidate for Council, is proudly displaying his PURPLE shirt!
Neil told me it was not an accident - he wore his PURPLE shirt on purpose to show his support for Heather KING for Mayor.
Neil is a good choice for Delta Council. Check out his blog. Follow him on twitter @neilcorbett11
Ponder: What would Neil (or anyone) wear to a DIVA party to show support?....shucks Halloween was yesterday.
 |
| Ingrid and Heather |
Ingrid has bits of PURPLE in her shirt and she has a ROYAL PURPLE spirit!
She signed up to canvass and yesterday Keith, her hubby, was on the phones!

Intriguing Conversation Thread:
"Did you get phoned?""NO! Did you?""NO! Do you know anyone that did?""NO!"
*****So I set out on a quest to find someone who was called!"Well surely someone here got a call!"
"NO!" "NO, no!"
"Nope."
"NO." "Still waiting."
"Negative"
"Not me!" "No."
Well you get the picture...
I am still searching!
"Did you get a phone call for the DIVA's Telephone Town Hall?"
The full-page DIVA advertisement in both the SD Leader and the Delta Optimist said,
- "Telephone Town Hall with Mayor Lois Jackson, and Councillors Scott Hamilton, Ian Paton and Robert Campbell
- Join in and let yourself be heard!
- Expect a call at 7PM to be connected to this event.
- 7PM Wednesday Oct 19, 2011"
The ad tells you to expect a phone call to be connected to the event...so I erroneously assumed I would get a call.
Nope, no call for Barb_2U.
I have to ask, "How can I be heard, if don't get a call?"
Was anyone heard?
Did anyone get a call?
October 20th there was a bit of conversation on Jackson's Facebook page, "12000 residents were called at random. If your phone did not ring at 7pm your number was not chosen."
So now I am really pondering....
- there are approximately 35,000 homes in Delta,
- they called 12,000 residents at random,
- 34% of the homes were called..(one in three)
Surely if one in three were randomly called, I could find someone who was called!
I've been kind of obsessing about this and I've asked a lot of folks, but so far I haven't found anyone who was called.
Definitely an intriguing conversation thread!
Please add to it, if you have any information or concerns.
Youth Involvement:
 |
| Wade. Bret, Pricilla |
Wade is Heather and Dean's son, he's been a tremendous help
Bret is a first time voter and he is taking his right to vote very seriously! Bravo!

 |
| Pauline Basi, Heather King #1 hero, & Dr. Andy Basi # 16 hero |
Have you ever been in a room full of so many heroes?
 |
| Council Candidate, Neil Corbett #2 hero |
 |
| Neil #2 and Ferd #10 |
Neil had his knuckles gently rapped for having his campaign picture taken in front of the Tour de Delta banner (he's been the Tour de Directer for 11 years).
Inadvertently the Delta logo ended up in Neil's campaign photo. Neil was asked to remove it> He took a sharpie to all his campaign photos and blocked out all logos!
Once bitten, twice shy! Neil isn't going to get his knuckles rapped twice, so he humourously put his name tag over the Delta logo on his jacket.
 |
| Azhar #29, Carol and Dean - smart girl, I'm wearing PURPLE from now on! |
 |
| Heather #1 Hero, PURPLE supporter Sharon, and Louise #28 hero |

Today's Hero:
Amazing Marsha!
 |
| Joan and Marsha -- notice the pen in Marsha's hand, she is always working for Heather's campaign! |
She was the gal who organized Heather's Gala.
She helped clean headquarters.
She does something every day to help Heather's campaign.
Yesterday she was organizing Heather's Apre-election party!
While we were chatting with Philip Raphael, Editor South Delta Leader, she told us that she was connecting with all her daughter's friends to get them to vote! I think that means the entire SDSS class of 2011!
She's a great sport: she lent her backside to this photo!
