Winter Concert, Saturday, 14 December, 3pm at the Community Centre: All are Welcome

The concert will showcase our school students singing a variety of songs and present a few individual acts.

Several other community members will entertain us with musical interludes on the piano, and kalimba.

We'll watch some belly dance, listen to a soprano solo, and some poetry. There will be opportunity for the audience to sing along to seasonal favourites.

Light refreshments will be served after the hour-long concert.

Please join us to celebrate the season, our community, and friends.

P.S. A plate of finger foods to be shared during refreshments would be very much appreciated. 

Thank you.

We need about 40 ft of approx. 6 ft high wire fencing or anyone want to share a full roll?

Prescription & Reading Glasses

A small village clinic in Liberia would greatly appreciate any prescription or reading eyeglasses that you don’t need.

There will be a small box in front of the Firehall to collect your cast-off eyewear, and they will be taken to Liberia by someone who is returning to the village in the Spring.

Does anyone currently have, or knows of someone who has, a litter of kittens?

Thank you!

Free Gas (Propane) Range

Hot on Jim's heels!

We have a gas range that needs a new home. The stove part is in excellent condition, but unfortunately the motherboard that controls the oven is broken and GE is no longer selling that part (talk about designed obsolescence).

It is silver and black with five elements. This would make a great stove+storage unit for pots & pans for anyone willing to forgo an oven.

Please email jan.fesnoux@gmail.com for photos or more info.

Thanks, Janet

Mobility Device for indoors
