Insomnia Cafe Christmas Fundraiser Tonight

Local haunt and brunch favourite Insomnia Restaurant and Lounge on Bloor, just east of Bathurst, holds its Christmas Fundraiser this evening starting at 6 pm.

I love this idea: the money raised helps a family in need. The proceeds from a silent auction, a raffle draw and a dollar from every drink sold will be donated to the cause.

Cheers,

Vanessa

P.S. Don't forget that this evening is the Royal St. George's Neighbourhood Carol Service at 7 pm at Walmer Road Baptist Church.

Annex Residents: Take Your Garbage To Royal St. George's Tomorrow

Happy, happy news! This just rolled into my inbox from the Annex Resident's Association:
"Dear Members,
In light of the continuing strike and to help the Annex residents dispose of their garbage, The ARA has arranged for a large bin to be located on the parking lot of Royal St. George's College near the Albany Avenue exit.
All waste must be securely contained in large plastic bags. All three types of waste will be accepted (organic, blue box and regular HH garbage).
The first pick up will be this Friday, July 24th 7:30 till noon.
An ARA volunteer will be at the site. If you have not yet renewed your membership, we hope you will do so.
Since we only have members on our mailing list, please spread the word to your neighbours.
For future dates, times & bin location(s), please check out our website at www.theara.org
This is a good time to organize various clean-up crews.
Nellie Bannayan,
Membership Secretary
The Annex Residents’ Association"
Cheers,
Vanessa
