  • La Croisée Easter Egg Hunt 2019

    It is unfortunate that the Easter Egg Hunt event was cancelled this year due to lack of volunteers, but it will be back next year. Families who signed up have been contacted. Remember, our venue is invaluable.

    Looking back, our community accomplished some incredible things in a very short time. None of this would have been possible without the neighbors who volunteered to make it all happen. They simply offered a little time (“generosity”), skills, or material support (“gifts”) in whatever way they could. That’s how it all came about and continues to grow because we are lucky enough to have good people.

    Explanations about the structure will follow a little later, but for now, it is important to remember that we are all neighbors and volunteers.

    LaCroisee-Volunteer

    Four more events are planned and supported this year:

    • Community Garage Sale – Saturday June 1st
    • Journée du vélo et des Fêtes des voisins – samedi le 8 juin
    • Épluchette de blé d’inde et AGA – samedi le 21 septembre
    • Noël communautaire – Samedi le 7 décembre

    Improved notices will be provided. In the meantime, if you see or hear a call for volunteers, your response is what could make the events possible and the community around us even better. Everyone is welcome
