Power’s Out Team

Winter Concert TODAY! 3 pm, Community Centre

The elementary school students have worked hard to entertain you with songs, dance, piano solos, and other amazing acts. 😊

They will be followed by various community members playing the piano, kalimba, singing a few soprano solos, belly dancing to the music of Sugar Plum ferries, and poetry reading.

Audience sing along will round out the program.

Everyone is welcome.

There will be refreshments afterward.
Please bring a plate to share with friends and family!

Looking forward to seeing you there

Thanks to Volunteers at Soup’s On

I would love to thank all of the volunteers who came out and helped me at Soup's On this past Wednesday. It made the very busy day so much easier to serve almost 80 folks.

With no leftovers to feed the crew, I will have a bowl of soup at our February Soup's On.
