LITTLE FREE LIBRARY UPDATE
The Applewood United
Church Executive
Committee is looking for
interested individuals to
make up a yet-to-benamed working group that
would consider and make
recommendations to the
Executive (and/or
congregation where
appropriate) as to the use
of the Ann Graham
Memorial Fund, based on
input from the Applewood
United Church community.
This group of
approximately 8 members
will represent the diversity
of life and work at AUC,
and would use a
consensus model for
decision-making. An initial
one year commitment is
expected, beginning in the
fall of 2015. If you are
interested in participating
in the work of this vital
group, please contact
Lorne Hassard, General
Chair, at 905-990-1927
[email protected]
As of Friday June 26 the Little Free Library is installed and operational.
At this time we have one library to hold both adult and children’s books.
Ongoing plans include either building or ordering a 2nd library to
accommodate children’s books. Brochures and a DVD will soon be
available and a ribbon-cutting ceremony and some promotions are also
planned. At this time I would like to thank the members of the Visioning
Committee for their enthusiastic support of this project; Lynda
Kudrewatych, Carol Culbert, and Elaine Borlace for their ideas and
assistance; and Bryce and Nancy Atkinson, Bob Emerson, and Frank
Paiero for the completion and installation of the Library and bench. And
thank you to everyone in the congregation for your whole-hearted
support of this project.
