GARDEN PROJECT—FINAL PUSH: "The good news is, we have all the funds we need to complete our garden project; the bad news is, it's still in our wallets!" Thanks to those of you who have made a gift to the garden fund. Exciting to know that our plants are soon to be available and ready for planting, however we still can't afford to finish our garden. Here's a gentle reminder to those of you needing a nudge or a round tuit: please help us complete this project before the summer heat.

EFM—OPEN EVENING: EFM has an open evening on Thursday May 14th. It's an opportunity for anyone who is interested in doing EFM and would like to see what it entails without making any commitment. It is at Castlegar from 6.30 - 9pm during which we have refreshments. Otherwise just come for half a session or on another evening when it might be more convenient. Please speak to Beth, Richard, Michael or Lesley if you have any queries or would like to go.
