Word of the Day

ebullient \ih-BUL-yuhnt\, adjective:

1. Overflowing with enthusiasm or excitement; high-spirited.
2. Boiling up or over.

The glasses he wore for astigmatism gave him a deceptively clerkish appearance, for he had an ebullient, gregarious personality, a hot temper, and an outsized imagination.
 

He was no longer an ebullient, energetic adolescent.
 

Sometimes he would come back from the Drenchery Club holding on to the walls till he got to my office, where he'd be jolly and ebullient. At other times, he'd return morose.
 

Ebullient comes from Latin ebullire, "to bubble up," from e-, "out of, from" + bullire, "to bubble, to boil."

 

President's Message

 Happy New Year!  It is a new year for Britannia/Youngstown and it starts today!

 I am Danae Kortmann-Watts and I am your new President.  I was elected at the Annual General Meeting which occurred on October 10, 2007.  I will do my best with the support of the community and executive members to make this neighborhood one of  the best places to live in Edmonton! 

I would like to extend my appreciation to all the executive members new and experienced – with these folks I am confident that positive changes will occur in our neighborhood for this year and years to come!

 We have some challenges to overcome but I am sure with support from you and organizations in the area that we can conquer anything that comes our way. I encourage you to voice your suggestions or concerns and you can do so by emailing us or giving one of your executive members a call. 

 There are lots of exciting projects on the go, including the skating rink.  We are working with various partners in our Community to make this happen and now we need your support to get it off and running.  Keep posted to the web and find out how you can assist us!

 I am really excited to be living in this community and I want you to feel it too!  I challenge you to make a difference, does not have to big huge – small steps will get you just as far and brings you great success and happy feelings.  Here are some wise words from others that might motivate you – I know it helps me!
