May 27th Meeting-- IMPORTANT!
The quilt raffle tickets for
"Ain't I a Woman?"
are now being printed.
They'll be ready to be handed out at the next meeting.
Hope to see a good turnout to pick up your tickets and to hear the update re the Sept. 14 event.
Next meeting:
May 27, 9:30 a.m.
at Bonnie's home - 250 Mowbray Rd (off Cty Rd 10) Picton - 613 476 5925
Directions from Picton: follow County Rd. 10 heading towards Cherry Valley. Go past Michael's Family Restaurant at the corner of Cty Rd. 10 and Cty Rd. 1. The next left is the road that goes up to Camp Picton and the airport. Don't turn there. The next road on the left is Mowbray Rd. It's at the top of a rise just past the trailer court. Turn there. It looks like the driveway to a farm because it is a dirt/gravel road between Pat Mowbray's house and his garages. Follow around the large curve until you come to the first home on your right (just over 1km). That's us at #250 Mowbray. There's a 'hidden driveway' sign just before you get to us. We are the hidden driveway. There's a turn-around spot in the driveway and you can also park on the grass if it hasn't been raining prior to the meeting.
If you can't come to the meeting please e-mail:

September 14th event update
The following is an update from Susan Radecki :
This is what I know so far about the event at Picton United Church on Sun. Sept. 14th. We have a granny named Sue Cousineau from the Ottawa area . She can stay with me the night before. She will speak during the church service for 15 min. Then the ladies (and perhaps men) of the church will provide a lunch.
After the lunch we will take over. We can have the sanctuary for free. I will ask the Bay of Quinte Sweet Adelines to sing and I should know on Mon. night about that. I also belong to the county drumming circle if you want to ask them to perform. We were also thinking that Sue Cousineau should be given another opportunity to speak at this time , and perhaps Wilma as well .
All suggestions are welcome.
