Successful Creative Writing Workshop

Last Sunday, Julie, Anne, Elizabeth, Sandra and Vi gathered at Sue Gebhardt's house for a Creative Writing Workshop as part of the Arts and Cultural Committee's workshop program.

We had an enjoyable time doing 10 minute writing exercises and sharing what we'd written. (See pictures ATTACHED.) The group wants to continue and will meet again in July.

Need to 'toddler-proof' your mailbox?

Yesterday, two Village toddlers were observed, on separate occasions, inspecting, playing with, and redistributing the mail in mailboxes close to the ground while their minders' backs were turned for a few milliseconds! It's hard for even the most beady-eyed parent to provide 100% supervision of this age group - and hard for them to understand the importance of what goes into which box so, if your mailbox is close to the ground, you might want to consider a lock for it.
