Coming events

October is a busy month for Meadow Lake JFWs!

Our 'JFW Basics' day this last Saturday was a success, and many skills were learned and/or enhanced.

Our next club meeting is this week - Tuesday evening - and we will meet at the outdoor site by the Community Garden.  Yes, it will be dark!  However, the weather is (so far) predicted to be quite nice, and we do have lighting for the activities that are planned.  (Additional lanterns would be appreciated!)  With any luck the sky will be clear and we can add stargazing to our evening plan.   We also have a number of things to discuss & decide on, so everyone's attendance will be appreciated.

Oct 15-17 is the annual AJFWA Fall Workshop, and all parents, Challengers and volunteers are encouraged to attend.  The cost is $90.00 per person, and includes food, lodging and some great programming.  You will feel very welcome, as JFW's are the friendliest group of people you'll ever meet!

Our next evening meeting is October 19th, location TBA

Hallowe'en will soon be upon us!  Christine and Mike have invited us to hold a spooky get-together at their farm on October 30th.    ACs and adults are encouraged to put their heads together for some great ideas, and possibly set up the event on the weekend before.

And then November... Remembrance Day... 'Mini-survival' weekend... Chainsaw safety course... Festival of Trees coat check... Evening meetings... loads of fun!
