Geranium Sale
 The Annual Geranium Sale campaign has been a fixture of CMHA/Peel
Branch since 1986. Volunteers co-ordinate the selling of geraniums
at their place of work or home by taking orders in April and
early May. Other volunteers deliver the plants in mid-May,
in time for planting on the long Victoria Day weekend.
All it takes to be a Volunteer Salesperson is a
willingness to post a flyer, keep track of an order sheet, fax the
sheet in by a specified date, and collect payment prior to
delivery of the plants. On Delivery day your office/agency/home
will be enlivened by lush, vibrant-coloured (red, salmon, light
pink, dark pink and white) 4.5-inch pots of geraniums, which come
from Haase Greenhouses in Brampton.
If you think you might be interested in volunteering to help
sell or deliver plants for this year’s Annual Geranium Sale,
contact Shelagh at 905-451-1718 x 320 or
nuttalls@cmhapeel.ca.
Sales people start selling plants at their place of work or
neighbourhood in April/early May and receive delivery on the
Wednesday or Thursday before the long Victoria Day weekend.

Mental Health Week
The first full week in May is Mental Health
Week. This national event gives Canadians an opportunity to
find out the importance of mental health and how to achieve it in
their community.
This year Mental Health week is May 1 – 7, 2011
and the theme is Mental Health for All.
Maintaining our mental health means striking a balance in all
aspects of your life: social, physical, spiritual, economic and
mental. Take time to think about your emotional well-being and
your “mental fitness.” Give yourself permission to take a break
from your worries and concerns. Here are some simple ways to
practice mental fitness:
Learn ways to cope with negative thoughts
Do one thing at a time
Exercise
Enjoy hobbies
“Collect” positive emotional moments
Set personal goals
Do new things/challenge yourself
Keep a journal or talk regularly to loved ones
Share humour
Volunteer
Treat yourself well
Ask for help
