 Annual Plant Sale
Saturday, May 24. Spring has arrived - our Annual Plant Sale is only 3 weeks away. Lots to be done if we’re to equal last year’s success. We’ll need lots of plants from St. Nick’s parishioners. If you can pot your plants, please label each pot (on a Popsicle stick or on masking tape) with the name of the flower and the colour. Also, we need pots, garden tools, birdhouses, garden furniture and gardening books and magazines, or anything else related to gardening.
If you can’t do the digging and/or potting I’ll be happy to do that for you, just give me a call. I’ll be glad to pick up items. If you can deliver your items, my address - and contact phone number - are available from the parish office at 416-691-0449 or Email ». Many thanks for all your help. Proceeds go to an Anglican Mission in our Companion Diocese of Grahamstown, South Africa - run by Rachel Johnson, our Bishop’s daughter. This year they are opening 4 new paediatric clinics in the region. The AIDS incidence in the community is 17.5%. The centre where Rachel works is currently treating 1,000 patients and they never turn a patient away! Besides treating the sick, education about AIDS and prevention is all-important. - Marcia Parum York-Scarborough Area Day
