Posted: Dec 11, 2009 MESSAGE FROM CHAIR OF THE BOARD KIM TODD
Source: OSM
This year seems to have gone by very quickly – unfortunately not because we were all having so much fun. There has been some fun. There has also been a lot of hard work and some hard times. At OSM our job is to support and nurture the MB industry. That means we have to be cheer leaders and celebrate our accomplishments. We have to be advocates to make sure we are represented on the international, national and provincial stages. We also have to be supporters of companies and members facing the challenges of an industry in economic and technological flux.

We had the opportunity to provide a few VIPs the chance to see the crew and cast of CASHING IN in action filming episodes of the second season of the series for APTN. Senator Janis Johnson and Member of Parliament Shelly Glover along with her son Michael Strickland spent some time watching Norma Bailey direct a scene being filmed at Club Regent Casino.
The production allowed us to return a few days later with Nicole Matiation of Manitoba Culture, Heritage, Tourism & Sport, and guests from the Canadian Women in Communications regional board, Terri Leigh and Robin Hildebrand. OSM's Claudia Garcia de la Huerta and interns Gemma Manangan and Richelle Cerrer rounded out the group.
