Upcoming Events
•
Film Night – Janice and Ronnie Uhlmann
Malerie
looked at the film we were considering showing and felt that it was not appropriate. The Tribunal film might me a better choice,
along with a visit from the women from
Vancouver Island - as an educational night rather than a fund-raiser.
- Scrabble event? - maybe something to look
at for next winter
- Canada Day Market - to be discussed at our
next meeting.
- Film Festival
- discussion around whether or not there is an opportunity for a table to be
set up during the festival in Feb.
Leslie will look into it.
- Calendars are available from Maggie at half
price - $10.
- Any other
ideas for future fundraising activities or events are welcome.
