LUNCH 'N SUCH - Wednesday, May 2nd at noon.

 

Come join us for lunch followed by a special musical guest, Dave Short.  Dave is a very talented member of the Senior Choir and Gabriel's Chorus who sings beautifully and plays both the guitar and banjo.  Plans are to have a sing-a-long so come join the fun. Total cost for lunch is $7 ($5 for lunch and $2 for programming expenses).  Anyone who is available is welcome to join us.  A signup sheet is posted in the foyer to help us with knowing how much food to prepare.

 

 

OUTREACH

 

Calling all knitters and “Wanna Be’s”. If you knit, or would like to learn to knit, this is the outreach project for you! Starting April 14 we are going to (learn to) knit warmth for the winter - mittens, socks, toques and scarves. Some of GCUC’s finest knitters will be on hand to help those of us with ten thumbs turn out unique and warm products for people in need in the Montreal & Ottawa Conference. This outreach project is part of the General Council “Knitting and Crocheting for a Warmer World”  initiative so take an hour out of your hectic life to enjoy learning as you give and giving as you learn.  All ages, genders and experience levels are welcome.  See the sign-up sheet in the lobby for days and times.  Got questions?  See Shirley Bishop or Vida Johnston.
