The weather is great, we’re looking forward to being outside more often,
and holiday time is just around the corner. The Carrot is getting busy too -
last Friday morning we had 6 or 7 people in by 9:45 am. There were 2
business meetings starting, then came in the Babes in Arms group.
With all the activity at the carrot we certainly need more people to take
care of our clients. If you know of someone who would be interested
in learning to become a barista, please have them get in contact with Irene
or the carrot and someone will get back to them shortly.
If you haven’t made coffee in awhile how about giving it a try again?
To volunteer, contact Irene, our volunteer Coordinator, at 477-6590 or irene@ehenri.ca
