allrighteee.....
here we go:
What word in the english language rhymes with "orange"???
(I'll give you a clue: it rhymes with...uhh....nevermind, no clue....)
got it??? You sure???
trick question! Nothing in the english language rhymes with "orange"
So if you got that answer, you're a winner.
And you know what, even if you didn't get the answer, you're still a winner, because you're YOU, and YOU are a specially gifted human being, and a winner in the game of life (no matter what you might think rhymes with 'orange').
have a GREAT day!

Here's a recipe for having a great day...
STEP 1: Smile. Even if you have to force it, even if it's only momentary, even if you're tired and/or in a bad mood, go ahead and smile. That's step one.
STEP 2: Think of your three bestest qualities. Maybe you're a really great dancer; maybe you're a really generous person; maybe you're a Guitar Hero superstar; whatever. Anything about you that makes you stand out in your own mind, think about it.
STEP 3: Got a mirror??? Take a look.... Within that mirror, you'll find a beautiful, unique, smiling, happy person, with a number of fantastic qualities... That person staring back at you is all you need to have a super great day.
There.... Did you follow the three easy steps??? hope so...have a great day.....(but I didn't have to tell you that, did I?)

There are plenty more examples just like those... Sometimes they are a bit more risque, sometimes they're more simple, more complex, funnier.... They are all unique in their own way, just like you!

(This video is broken -- but we're working on getting it back in action!)
Our First Annual Basketball Tournament Fundraiser!
June 21st, 2008: A day that will go down in history as Feel Good Day's first BIG fundraiser.
Coordinated by a team of feel-gooders led by Drew Miller and Sebastien Gatti, and hosted at the legendary Hampstead Basketball Court, this tournoi was HUGELY successful.
Food and refreshments served all day. Music provided by DJ PG-13. Fun in the sun. Great basketball with great players.... and all for a great cause.
Big Action!

Stride to Succeed, MAB, and FGD
Once a week, with the help of the volunteers from Stride to Succeed, students from the Montreal Association of the Blind embarked on what might seem like an impossible journey--- learning how to skate.

Arts and crafts, a favorite Feel Good Day activity!
A little dancing!
This wonderful program was hugely successful, giving these students the time of their lives. By the last day of this 6 week program, the kids were skating like champs.
To celebrate the completion of the skating workshop, Stride to Succeed invited Feel Good Day to organize a final celebration.

And a closing ceremony where everyone gets an award!
What a great day! What a great program! What great kids!
(sorry for blotting out everyone's face.... legal issues and stuff)
A Gem at J.E.M.
On Wednesday, May 21st, Team Feel Good Day headed to J.E.M., a vocational training center and workshop for mentally and emotionally handicapped Montrealers.
During the workshop's lunch-break, Feel Good Day distributed cupcakes, coffee, and juice, played all sorts of games (bowling, bean-bag toss, and board games), and made get-well cards for kids in the hospital.

Concordia Stress-Buster
April 16th, 2008: Feel Good Day Concordia's inaugural event.
Candy, feel good messages, and smiles.... A simple way to make your day...
Good Luck with Exams!
Some Easter Fun...
Late in March, Feel Good Day McGill holds an Easter Bunny Chocolate-O-Thon, handing out candy and Feel Good Messages all over the McGill Campus.....
And for an added touch, the Team gathers a group of kiddos from the McGill daycare and do some arts and crafts..... (but there's no pics of the kids...it's illegal, or something like that)...
What a splendid event!
