CONGRATULATIONS GAIL!!
Just wonderful to be able to share this well-deserved recognition of our Gail.
LUNCH AND LEARN
Below is a table of the remaining sessions in our Lunch and Learn program.
The last three sessions are on the dates/times set out in the table below and will be followed by a hot lunch.
The cost of the lunch is $7.00 or a voucher for a maximum of 25 people, so it is essential that you book specifically for whichever lunch session/s you wish to attend.
Anyone may attend the information component session/s free of charge – however we would still appreciate you letting us know if you plan to attend the session but not the lunch so we know how many chairs to put out.

A MESSAGE TO ALL JIGSAW PUZZLERS
We are seeking volunteers to check the puzzles that are donated to us for the bookfair. We need people to take a puzzle home and complete it to ensure it still has all its pieces. Then to pack it up and bring it back so we can sell it next year.
Interested?
Jigsaw puzzles we want checked will be on the library shelf in the Anne Murray room. Simply take a puzzle home, follow the instructions inside the box and, when finished, return the puzzle to the book fair sorting table in the annex.
The library shelf will be restocked each week so please be patient If there isn’t a puzzle there when you look there soon will be!
SOUP ROSTER
Sue Allen and I would love to hear from anyone who would like to make soup for one or more of our Monday soup lunches. These lunches raise funds for the Club. The main beneficiary is the annual Christmas lunch, but many other small projects and items have been supported by this initiative.
Polly has a roster sheet for anyone interested to indicate a date and type of soup and your contribution will be much appreciated by the many soup connoisseurs among us!

I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

I’m not out of the woods yet.
My resolution was to read more.
So, I enabled the subtitles on my TV.
