March 2008

We just received a note from Erny Cowan of the Community of Christ in Ottawa regarding their Hunger Awareness event. Thanks Erny.

We had about 30 people attend, mostly families with young children. Our first activity was an hour of swimming at the local Dovercourt pool. Then there were some activities around building cooperatively, such as building a bridge out of straws and connectors and churches out of cardboard boxes and tubes. A short sing-a-long, let by Christine Pigeon, wrapped up the activities. Then we shared a meal of chili or rigatonni.

The event was organized by Barb Kernohan, with assistance from Steve Wozniac in the kitchen, and Dianne Galbraith and Connie Hicks keeping the kids busy.

AND they raised $290 in support of World Accord programs. This is a great example of having fun while learning and supporting a cause. Way to go everyone. Thank you all for putting on this wonderful event.
