It was also the Youth Exchange auction - an event that our Club looks forward to every year! With Peter Hrastovec, Greg DeHetre and special guest DG Paul Sincock as auctioneers, everyone had a great time bidding on all different sorts of items! Many people took advantage of their Valentines Day shopping - and with all proceeds benefitting our exchange students and host families, why shop anywhere else?

Mats for Hope
Plastic bags are terrible for the environment. Do you have bags lying around?Rather than throwing them out, you can reuse them by crocheting them into multi-purpose mats (known as 'plarn' – plastic yarn).
In particular plarn can be used as sleeping mats for people without access to shelter. As sleeping mats, they're more hygienic, water proof, easily transportable, and provide protection from the cold concrete. A great way to keep that plastic out of our oceans and landfills, too.
Learn the three steps for the Mats for Hope project. Cut, Connect and Crochet. All are welcome. Please bring plastic bags you have collected. Handled bags are best (ex. Zehrs, Sobey, Home Hardware) Snacks and water will be provided for this afternoon of fellowship, learning and service!
When: Sunday, February 24th from 1:00pm - 3:30pm Where: The Safety Village, 7911 Forest Glade, Windsor, ON, N8T 3R7
