This Week in Chester
Bring
out your Patrick Chan and get over to the Eleanor Pew Arena - skating
times are Mondays AND Thursdays from 10am - 11a.m. Everyone is welcome!
For the small sum of $3.50 you can enjoy an hour of adult skating at
the rink with some musical classics you thought you would never,ever,
hear again. Bring a friend because if there are too few people this year
they will stop the program.

This Friday at 7:30 pm the Chester Playhouse
presents "The Judgment of Paris." This performance follows the lives of
two very different French composers, Claude Debussy and his
once-follower Maurice Ravel in the midst of the oncoming Great War, as
they compete for the love of their (personified) city. In a show that
combines cabaret, history, and story-telling there is a feature in the
music which contains a few original pieces written by the cast, which
includes Patricia O'Callaghan, Bryce Kulak, Kevin Fox, Lori Gemmell and
CBC's own Tom Allen.

Next Monday there is a Local Refugee Sponsorship Public Information Session at 7pm at St Stephen's Hall.
Moved
by the crises in countries such as Syria, The Starfish Refugee Project
has begun investigating local sponsorship of two refugee
families. Comprised of residents and groups in the Chester area from
East River to Western Shore, the plan is to raise at least $40,000 to
begin the sponsorship process. $11,000 has already been raised.
The
public gathering on Monday aims to inform and inspire. It is not enough
to simply raise money. It takes a passionate, committed community to
help make this a successful sponsorship. The organizers hope for a large
turnout, where the story behind the "Starfish" name will be revealed. |
