$7 Friday Social and Karaoke this Friday—Bar Opens at 4, Dinner Follows the Draws at 6
It’s another delicious $7 Friday this week, courtesy of of Marie: Lebanese chicken wraps and more—and, in addition, a Karaoke/Sing A Long for members and guests. Sue S., Julie C., and Marie H. are organizing an impromptu karaoke for those who want to “belt out” a few tunes. Start practicing and bring your song choices. This is a fun event, no past experience needed. See you Friday Sept 27th, for some good food and good fun! Supper will be at 6 p.m. Karaoke/Singing 7 p.m. And please remember to sign up for the dinner ahead of time (Marie asks that she know by noon Wednesday) so we know how much food to purchase and prepare, much appreciated.You can put your name on the sign-up sheet in the taproom, hit reply to this email, or call or write. See you Friday!
Coffee and Conversation Returns Thursday September 26, 10 –11:30 AM
Join us this Thursday, September 26th, for our first meeting of the fall season. Come and tell us what you have been doing this summer. And find out, for starters, why the existence of New York City depends on chocolate? And what does wheat have to do with the 24 hour day and 360 degrees? Bert C has arranged a schedule of guests for the fall, but is keeping the last Thursday of each month for conversation between members and their guests. On October 3, Will Hobbs and Bruce Craig will talk to us about the PEI Symphony, and October 10 Detective Constable Jason McKinnon will discuss investigative techniques.
The Haviland Club Pond Scotch Tasting, Friday October 25, 7 PM (Public Event)
Please join us for a wee dram—or rather, a series of wee drams—at the Haviland Club on Friday October 25th at 7 PM. Your host for the evening will be Mr. Gary Ready. Five single malts will be served, also smoked salmon on a bagel. Cost per person is $40.00, they’re available at the bar, and only 26 will be sold, so get yours soon!
The Haviland Club Book Club, Tuesday October 15, 7 PM
Here’s what the Book Club will be reading in coming months (by the way, Foe got a 6/10 rating from the group. As usual, some of the group found aspects others had missed—that’s why the conversation is so much fun.) For next month the club will read the humourous Curtains: Adventures of an Undertaker-in-Training, by Tom Jokinen to be followed by Testaments: A Novel by Margaret Atwood (sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale); The Other Side of the Sun, by Thien Tang; The Big Green Tent: A Novel, by Ludmila Ulitskaya; Fifth Business, by Robertson Davies; and Nostalgia, by M G Vassanji. A busy season begins! Join the conversation!
