Garden blitz Saturday
Calling all gardeners: the Rollin Arts Centre needs your help.
We are having a morning dedicated to working in our “nNative Garden” at the Rollin Art Centre this Saturday, April 18 at 10 a.m.
Local landscaper, Val Deakin, will be on hand to work in our garden which is in dire help and needs some TLC.
We are looking for volunteer help for a few hours to get our garden back to looking beautiful. If you are interested in offering a few hours to help weed, dig, prune and general help in our garden, please stop by the Rollin Art Centre this Saturday morning at 10 a.m.
Please bring along your own gardening tools and a friend.
Extra day for book sale
The Rollin Art Centre’s annual giant book sale is only a month away. We have added an extra day this year; mark your calendars, May 8 from 6–8 p.m. and May 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
We are still in great need of all your gently used books, as donations are low. Please help support this wonderful fundraiser for the Community Arts Council and the Rollin Art Centre by dropping off any “like new” books.
Our donation box is located at the Rollin Art Centre, inside, under the staircase in the wooden box.
