We at the Mill Courtland Neighbourhood Association hope you had an enjoyable summer. We survived another summer of
road restructuring. Just think, in about ten years our neighbourhoods will be all complete, and should be good for hopefully
another 70 - 100 years.
Thanks to our regular participants who keep coming back to our programs, season after season. For those who have not yet
come out, please check out our facility and our friendly staff will be pleased to answer any questions you might have on any of
the programs listed in our newsletter.
This year our Craft Sale should be bigger and better than ever. With the construction of last year hindering traffic, all is clear
now. Book a table as they go fast. When you drive by the Centre, check out our sign for present and future events. And
remember, we are always grateful when new volunteers come to the Centre and experience the rewards volunteering can
have.
Hope to see you soon,

The hardest meal of the day as everyone is tired and

Secrets will bring some easy, nourishing, tasty and cost
effective ideas for you to use for your family.

freeze at home. The group will choose recipes and the
cost will be divided amongst the participants.
Child care will be provided for FREE for all Tuesdays but
you must phone in on the Monday prior to the class to
confirm attendance to ensure a spot for your
