Library Opening!

Hello friend of the KAN centre, and Happy Spring!

Many of you may have met Pauliina Tuominen, our international volunteer from Finland. Pauliina has been with the KAN for going on six months now, and her presence has been a such a gift to our centre and our community. She has brought energy, intellect, and organization to numerous projects around here, as well as some beautiful writing and documentation to go along with our recent workshops and events (please check out her evocative descriptions of life in Knowlesville here, on our blog), as well as her hard labour helping with the physical renovation of the KAN centre building. Among her many contributions has been the hugely exciting South Knowlesville library project--yes, South Knowlesville now has a library! This project, undertaken by Pauliina with enthusiasm and alacrity involved a considerable amount of work; gathering, organizing, and digitally categorizing every book that has been donated to the KAN (incidentally, we are continually welcoming further book donations).

In celebration of the imminent opening of the KAN centre library, we would like to invite you to a library opening/gathering this Sunday, the 27th of March, at 5pm. This gathering at the library will be followed by a potluck supper at the Artful Acre's cottage, Yolande & Lee's home. All are welcome. This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet Pauliina, check out our selection of books, and spend a lovely evening with your community.

Also, at this time, KAN centre memberships will be available for purchase, at $10 per family for one year. The benefits of membership include library access, and a discount on certain workshops and classes.

And...I just want to remind everyone of the fantastic Soap & Salve-making workshop (with fabulous soap-maker Sandra Habold) coming up on April 2nd at the KAN, from 10am-2pm. The cost of this workshop is $40 per person, includes a home-cooked lunch, and spaces are quickly filling up. Please email me, Yolande, to confirm registration.

Have a wonderful day, enjoy the blissful sun, and we hope to see you this weekend!

Sincerely,

Yolande
