Message from the President Members, friends, associates, new and renewed acquaintances, I am honoured to have been a part of so many people’s lives. This year I have welcomed the opportunity to hear many people speak about themselves in public. After hearing all of these people tell me their life story, they have
become part of my life and in doing so have grown to become my friends. Now, I’ve added all of you into my friendship bank and the interest is paying me back much more than any financial institution ever could.
Thank you all for being yourself and sharing with me. ~ Mona Arsenault

Astronaut Roberta Bondar Armen, Kosal and I went to a lecture at Loyola High School where Dr. Roberta Bondar came to Montreal in March 2009 to receive a Loyola Medal; honouring distinguished Canadians. Her medal of honour was
for discovery. I had the opportunity in March to listen and briefly meet Roberta Bondar, Canada’s first woman astronaut. She spoke about doing what you want and said ‘How far do you want to go?’ I reply Space is not too far, ask Roberta-Honorary Girl Guide of the 100th year in Canada! I wouldn’t mind seeing those “Notulescant Clouds either, Roberta!” Other interesting facts from her lecture: She talked about the majesty of space! In space the stars don’t
Roberta Bondar’s Speech Hi members of TLE The speech that Roberta Bondar had discussed in March was fascinating; she described the beauty of so much about Earth. Many environmental global warming issues surround us, like different kinds of trees and flowers. She talked to us by pointing at a map and showing how the climate has changed, also towards looking at

twinkle! During her space career she went around the world 129 times. She now gives inspirational lecture workshops. Roberta says, “I’m here because I’ve had mountains to climb.” Like many people with obstacles in their life or difficulties, they have mountains to climb and that is what makes them succeed. She loves books and felt she learned so much from them. She has spent her whole life in Life-Long Learning. She has written several books: Passionate Vision; Canada Landscape of Dreams; The Arid Edge of Earth.

the world populations and seeing what is happening today. One thing I truly loved in hearing Roberta’s wonderful discussion, was just simply how she mentioned her life and the time when she was a young girl. How she became a true inspirational Canadian Astronaut.
Anyhow, that's my newsletter comment about "Roberta Bondar" and I hope you like it! Take care, Kosal C. Student
Volunteer today to change someone’s life tomorrow! We are looking for general volunteers for TLE and volunteer tutors to work one-on-one or in small groups with adult learners.
