Wanted to Rent

We are a recently retired couple in our fifties. We just sold our family home in Winnipeg since our 3 kids moved out and are free to tackle our bucket list. The first item is to attend Bible school together at Capernwray. To make it possible we are looking for a rental home from August 01, 2017 to June 01, 2018. We have been homeowners for the past 35 years therefore we know how to care for a property. We are dependable, non-smoking, no pets, very clean and quiet people. Please contact us via email at smjba@shaw.ca or phone  Sylvain 204-333-2397 or  Martine 204-228-5900

SOAS Request

School Orchard Africa is very grateful to the Frankels for donating page wire fencing for the fig tree.  That certainly should do the trick! 

All we need now are a couple lengths of rebar and we’re ready to go.  We are also looking for some gently used items that would be appropriate to win as prizes or package together with other items to auction off. 

If you have been contemplating your spring cleaning and de-cluttering we would be happy to receive them and recycle all in the name of a very good cause.
