Souper lunch is back!

The Souper Lunch Committee is delighted to announce this revival.

Our first event will be on –

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 25th at 12 NOON IN THE PENTHOUSE

Suggested contribution to the lunch is, as before $2, a toonie, or what you can give.  A donation box will be available in the Penthouse.

All are welcome, but we can comfortably seat 25 people. Bring your own mug for soup.

If you wish to attend, please  fill out the form (in the Weekly)  and place it is the Lunch box in the photocopy room.

Volunteers needed

There is some work involved in putting on these lunches:
the tasks include a little shopping, soup making (we need two volunteers for each lunch but we have people for October 25th), set up in the morning (10:30 am – 12 noon), and cleanup afterward (2-3 pm).
Volunteers for cleanup are asked to bring their own tea towels, and everyone to supply their own mug.  (This cuts down considerably on cleanup.)

If you wish to volunteer for any of the tasks above, it is much appreciated. You may fill out the form below and place it is the Lunch box in the photocopy room, or just call or email Judith de Swaaf.

About souper lunches

We are sure that many of our long time attendees will be very happy with this news  For newcomers to Woodsworth, this popular event goes back as far as 2014.  It was inspired by Marilyn Richards’ mother who attended a similar program in England.

For those newer to our co op it is an opportunity to expand their Woodsworth world.  For long term members, especially those who don’t get out easily or often in winter, it was and hopefully will continue to be a significant enrichment of their lives. And for all who attend, it is a good and pleasant get together.
