Your Information Source for Community Activities on the South Shore
A couple of days ago we sent out invitations to our members and volunteers for the Appreciation Event we are hosting on Friday, April 19. We’re celebrating with mocktails, light bites and authentic live jazz and blues music with Montreal’s own Colin Perry and Peter Mika. It promises to be a swanky soirée!
If you’re not already a member, there’s still an opportunity for you to register to become one on our website and then we’ll send you an invitation to the event. And don’t forget, if you register to become a member for 3 years you’ll receive an exclusive ARC t-shirt at the event. Learn how to become a member here.
In March, we welcomed a new member to the team at our satellite office in Lacolle, located at 10 Sainte-Marie Street in the Centre Léodore-Ryan. Ashley Daniel will be graduating this month from Concordia University’s Human Relations Program and has worked as a psychosocial counsellor in Chateauguay. Since Ashley is part of the Haut-Richelieu team, you’ll also see her at activities in both St-Jean and Chambly. She can be reached at [email protected] and (514) 980-8900.
At the St-Jean-sur-Richelieu office, we’ll be starting a brand-new Conversation Club starting in May. This Club is the perfect place to practice your French conversation skills in a safe and judgment-free zone. Everyone is welcome whether they are just starting out on their language journey or are an experienced French speaker. Conversation Club will take place weekly in the ARC office located at 927-B Seminaire Blvd. N. Contact [email protected] to be on the list to hear all of the details first.
You may have noticed that in the last couple of months The Advisor has trimmed down. This is in response to the valuable feedback we received from readers in December. In the coming months, we will be adding a blog to our list of resources for the community, with articles on topics that interest our community, including mental well-being, caregiving, employment, etc. More news in the coming months.
And finally, did you know that we offer two weekly creative activities on Monday afternoons? Virtual Drawing with Ilana on Zoom and Rock Painting with Therese in person at the Greenfield Park Activity Centre. If you’re interested in enhancing your creative ability, email [email protected] to register.
