Founded in 1989, the Montreal Chapter of the Raging Grannies work to bring attention to peace, justice and environmental issues. Their environmental songs address clear-cut logging, toxins, pollution, oil spills and radiation. We also have a range of 'Anti' songs: Anti- war, free trade, nuclear, poverty, war toys and violence-against-women. Below are two members who collected clothing for Chez Doris. Thanks!
Looking for a special Valentine’s gift for your honey, favourite relation, or even someone you admire? Why not purchase mittens made by Chez Doris clients? All profits from the last 80 batch of mittens sold, which were made in 2018, will go towards the cost of a special Valentine’s Day party for the women. There are many shades of red, pink, purple to choose from as well as other colours. Price: $35 each and as a special Valentine’s Day price, $30 each for 3 or more pairs. To purchase mittens by appointment call Allison Lemieux at 514-937-2341; 231.
Each Sunday starting today until March 31, volunteers will purchase and serve a delicious breakfast sponsored by ICNA Relief Canada. The breakfast includes bagels, smoked salmon, yogurt, fruit and juice… Pictured are today’s volunteers and food.
Still thinking about a new year’s resolution? If it’s fitness-focused try Cassandra Keating’s spinning class and/or Ksenia Thurgood’s BARRE52 class at the B52 gym www.b52fit.com.
