Support Anaïs's New Art Project!

Hello everyone,

I just launched a new project for which I am going to need all art lovers' support!

Together with my friend Julie, who is a professional weaver in France, we are looking to get one of my pieces woven into a tapestry in the traditional Aubusson style. The first of many, we hope! In order to bring this first tapestry to life, we're launching a crowdfunding campaign.

Find out more about the project: https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/projet-tapisserie-aubusson/
If you're curious about tapestry weaving, check out this 2-minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm-f17rxP7A

I hope you find the idea appealing and exciting! Please consider supporting us if you do!

Thank you all,

Anaïs

Scottish Country Dancing

Unfortunately, for a number of reasons it is necessary to postpone the start of dancing until further notice. I will keep everyone posted as to further possibilities when I see that we will have enough participants to try again.

To extinguish your campfire, pour plenty of water on the fire and surrounding area, dousing the site of the campfire thoroughly. Stir the campfire until there are no embers and the ashes are cold to the touch.

Thank you to the happy group of volunteers who provided morning snacks and lunch at Saturday’s Forbes Hall Community Centre Grand Opening Event. There were over 150 people in attendance, and it was great to see so many happy faces enjoying their meal to finish up a very special day in our community.

First off, thanks to Nancy Sinclair and Don Sinclair for providing all the baking for the morning snacks to go with the many thermoses of coffee and tea.  

Thanks to the BBQ lunch volunteers:

Don Sinclair – lead organizer 

Chad Kerr – barbeque master

You prepared everything so that the lunch line would move quickly, with hamburgers hot and ready for all the fixings. 

Thanks for all your work and smiles.
