The scroll saw is a popular device for a wide range of projects such as lettering, decorations, trivets, etc. Many patterns are available in books and on-line. Come and see whether this is something you would like to get into.

RESIDENTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE

 

All residents are welcome!

The Social Committee understands that some residents of the 

Gallery have eating restrictions that limit their participation at 

events.  We will try provide information on food in advance and 

source vegetarian options, on request. If we are not able to

address your needs, you are still welcome to bring your own 

food and join your fellow residents for a time of fun and 

socialization.  We ask that you let us know in advance so that 

we have enough space for all.  There would be no charge for 

food for participants who brought their own meal.

 

Sincerely,

 

Gerry Meade,

For the Social Committee

 

It was a brilliant Corn Moon that rose above the trees on Sunday night.  We were hoping it would be crimson in colour, but didn't look any different than other moons.

Thanks to the approximately 28 people for coming out and singing along with me to some 50's music.

   Fall

It’s fall once again with the kids back in school 

The leaves will be falling as that is the rule 

But first they show off all their colours so bright 

In our neighbourhood that makes our fall just right 

For winter with snow storms is coming once more 

When fall has arrived it knocks at our door

Snow covers our sidewalks and piles on our cars

So love this fall time it’s much better by far 

The trees are preparing to take a long rest 

The green leaves of summer have changed for the best 

The branches of trees will be bare by and by 

Silhouettes reaching upwards to scratch the dark sky

Yes fall is a time we look forward to change 

Our schedule is something that we rearrange 

When outside work is finished again

And time on the inside will finally reign

Our summer is past and winter’s not here

There’s family times coming that fill us with cheer 

There’s bright leaves in colours of crimson and gold 

My friend my short story of fall has been told

By Greg Howard.

BRENDA ROBB - $80!

SEPTEMBER 7TH BONFIRE 

(weather permitting)

FULL "CORN" MOON

6:30PM

Traditionally named by Native American tribes, the Corn Moon marks the period of the corn harvest. This full moon is a powerful symbol of abundance, gratitude, and the culmination of hard work. It invites us to celebrate the rewards of our labours, both in tangible achievements and personal growth.

I would like to thank Brigitta Knuth's son for donating and delivering some wood to our stack.  I also would like to thank two other residents (who wish to remain anonymous) who also have donated wood.
