Victorian Tea Fundraiser

Please join us on Sunday, June 8 from 1 - 3:30 pm at The ABC Hall for our first big fundraiser of the year, a Victorian Tea. It will be a delightful afternoon: scrumptious food (including a gluten and dairy-free option), festive décor, period costumes, prizes, and music by Celtic harpist, Judi Longstreet.

Act quickly, tickets are limited and available in advance only at The WORDsmith in Westport, Shadowfax in Perth, or call Freda Russell at (613) 273-2571. They'd make a perfect Mother's Day gift, too! For info: Victorian Tea

I'll issue an update shortly on the status of our much-anticipated renovations at The ABC Hall, funded, in large part, by our recent Trillium grant. Did I mention it was going to be a busy year?

Speaking of Trillium, here's to many, many May flowers (following all those April showers)!

Wishing both Martin and Pat a full and speedy recovery.
