REMEMBER THE AFRICAN CHILDREN'S CHOIR?  THEY GREW UP AND ARE PASSING ON THEIR THANKS TO MORE CHILDREN.
Mark and Irene's son, Jordan, is married to an African Children's Choir Alumni, and she with many more alumni are saying 'Thank-you' - 'Siyabonga'- by being involved in the raising of 20 very needy children in a loving home, supplying all their needs.  The ACC alumni also fund raise by singing at functions. They are a lively lot.
Tuesday, March 9th and 16th. Drop in any time between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m.
If you're in town on Tuesdays  - just show up at the E-Free Church in McBride (across from park)
Anyone is welcome to help tie quilts made for Ugandan kids.  Everyone can tie. Great time to visit. Bring a lunch and/or supper if you like.
Plan to come for the day and evening on the 2nd and make buns in the evening. Please let Russ Pervis know ahead of time if you wish to attend that workshop.
We now have 12 families from the valley sponsoring these kids.  If anyone is wanting to make a difference in the life of a child they can have contact with - this is a prime opportunity. There are 8 more children needing sponsors. It is $55/ month 'till they are 18. Most are between 8 and 11 years old. People can share sponsorship also.
Please email Irene if you are interested or call Irene at 250-569-2561.

Maskmaking
Diana Jeffries, a puppeteer, will be coming to Dunster to do workshops with the Dunster Fine Arts School students, March 16 and 17, and an adult workshop on Tuesday, March 16 in the evening on maskmaking.  She is flying in March 15 at 4:30 p.m. and returning to Vancouver on a morning flight (unsure of time at this point) Thursday, March 18.  Is anyone able to bring her to Dunster or take her back to Prince George? Also if you are planning to participate in the adult evening workshop, please phone the school to sign up by Friday, March 5, at 3:00 p.m.  There will be a $10 cost for the workshop.

DIG OUT YOUR DANCING SHOES!!!!!!
There will be four evenings of dance classes for those who would like to learn the basics of ballroom and old-time dancing.
You will learn the basics of The American Waltz, The Old Time Waltz, The Cha-Cha, The Polka, The Heel-Toe Polka, The Schottische, The Fox Trot, and a few others if there is time.
The lessons will be on Tuesday evenings at the Dunster Community Hall from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and will run from March 16 until April 6 ( four weeks).
The cost of the lessons is $20 for the four weeks (to be paid in advance) to Pete Amyoony who will be teaching the classes.
You must register and pay by Friday, March 12 so we can see if there is enough interest to go ahead with the classes.
Everyone over 12 years of age is welcome, partnered or not. (Sorry about the 12-year age limit, but usually the two hour classes are too long for smaller children.)
For more information call Pete at 250-968-4334 or send an email.
