A very informal dinner will be provided along with drinks and a good time! Please let me know if you plan to attend or if you have a Jan Birthday. Perhaps we could make this a monthly event hosted at different homes?
Date: Jan 19th
Time: anytime after 5PM
Where: 3037 Amherst, Gilchrist
NO presents, please. However, donations will be accepted for Operation Homebound which feeds homebound Villagers here. Details to follow!

Hi Both,
That is a great idea and new tradition to start for the Gilly neighbourhood.
We will be there and the donation idea is a very laudable one also.
What about letting the host each month pick the local charitable activity in the greater Villages area for us all to support, then we spread our help accross our wider neighbourhood and to needy friends, young and old, we may not have met yet.
The individual charitable donation needs to be confidential, maybe a sealed envelope, that way those that may be of more limited financial means can still attend and not feel pressured to overstretch themselves month after month
Another fine example of what a fabulous neighbourhood this is turning out to be.
