Very dynamic Arts & Crafts group!!!

Club Bon accueil has a group of very talented women in various crafts. They meet every Wednesday starting at 10 am and they get busy with their talented various art forms. Some knit, others paint, create all kinds of beautiful things. Once spring gets here, they will get their green thumbs busy in the Community Garden. One of their creations in 2011 was to knit 20 "tuques" for a group of UBC students who were participating in an engineer competition in Edmonton. Also, our two Christmas Hampers contained many hand-made crafted gifts created by these talented ladies. We thank them for their involvement in our community.

If you feel like it, come and join the group on Wednesdays; bring a lunch, the ladies enjoy having lunch together! Hope to see you there!
