We just wanted to thank Karen at the Treasure Chest shop in Pointe-Claire for approaching us and requesting posters and flyers to help us promote the Bardic and the Witches Ball.

You can see posters (and soon get tickets) at her shop at:

Treasure Chest – Coffre aux Tresors
60A Donegani
Pointe Claire, QC
H9R 2V4
514-630-9229
treasurechst09@gmail.com
Google Maps

We’ve had bilingual posters made for the following events and we’re asking our supporters to put these posters up in places where they will be seen:

• Montreal Witches Masquerade Ball (thanks be to Alex for designing the poster)
• Gaia Bardic Fundraiser (thanks be to Crystal for designing the poster and flyers)

The posters have been brought to the two following places for you to pick up:

• Charme & Sortilege (4933 Rue de Grand-Pré, Montréal)
• Le Melange Magique (1928 Ste. Catherine Street West)

When putting these posters up, please do NOT put them on illegal places like mailboxes, telephone poles, parking meters, bus shelters, etc. If our posters are found in these places, we could be fined up to $1500.  For the Witches Ball: if Sala Rossa finds out that the posters have been put in illegal places, we could lose our rights to use their space for this event. So please BE CAREFUL when putting the posters up.

Keep in mind that these events are on October 23rd (the Gaia Bardic) and  on October 29th (the Witches Ball), which is not far away. The sooner we get these posters up, the better. Good places to put posters up include:

• Universities
• CEGEPS
• Community centres
• Cafes
• Grocery stores
• Pharmacies

Thanks for your support!

DIRECTIONS

Resto Burgers & Benedicts is in the Pepsi Forum that houses the AMC Movie theatre and is across Atwater from Alexis Nihon.

BUS/METRO/WALK:
Get to Atwater metro (Green line), cross Atwater from Alexis Nihon, and enter the Pepsi Forum. Its the first resto inside.

We are very pleased to announce that we had a little over 20 people at the Isaac Bonewits memorial ritual that was held in Angrignon park tonight and led by Linda Demissy.

Our thanks go to Linda for putting this memorial ritual together so quickly, to Mark and Farrell for helping out with it, and to everyone else who turned up to witness it. There were many touching moments, but also loads of laughter, which was a sure sign that Isaac had turned up to join us (including a boombox that would not shut off and only got louder the more we fiddled with it).

We also raised over $374 dollars which will be donated to Phaedra Bonewits to help with covering her medical bills. Much love and thanks to Mariesol who auctioned off a unique, hand-written collection of pagan chants, songs, and stories, which sold for $120!

We hope Isaac enjoyed our offerings and that they speed him off to the Summerlands in style. Gods bless.

If you wish to donate to the Bonewits family, you can get more information at: http://www.adf.org/about/leaders/isaac-bonewits/donate.html

Hi everyone

The time has come to coax you all out of the woodwork, vine-work, and gyp-rock! Gaia Gathering is seeking volunteers to help with local fundraising events and the Conference as a whole. This is a great way to both get involved with the community and plant something special onto a CV.

If you want to help out, and you’re in the Montreal area, come out to our first Open Meeting on Tuesday August 24th at 7pm at L’Amère à Boire (2049 Rue Saint Denis, Montreal, QC, 514 282-7448).

If you can’t make the meeting (or if you’re outside of Montreal), please email Scarlet, our volunteer coordinator, at scarletcougar@gmail.com and include what you can offer, you email and phone contact information.

On the immediate list of help needed is the following:
- Postering people (across Canada)
- Bardic fundraiser help: ticket-taker at the event, concession stand manager, sponsorship/raffle coordinator, set-up & clean-up crew
- Some administrative support

We will also need volunteers for other tasks as the planning progresses.

We look forward to seeing you on the 24th!
Amanda, Hobbes, Robyn and Scarlet

Gaia Gathering Montreal – Open Meeting
Location:L’Amere a Boire 2049 Rue Saint Denis
Time:7:00PM Tuesday, August 24th

In late 2009, pagan author Isaac Bonewits was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. He went through several treatments over the following months, and although the treatments were going well, things have taken a turn for the worse.

The latest note from Phaedra Bonewits (taken from Facebook):
Just wanted to address the rumors that Isaac is back in the hospital. He is at home as he had wished, but he is nearing the end. His brothers and sisters are on their way to say goodbye. Please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.

You can read more about this on his blog and Facebook fan page:

If you can, please share your healing energies and good wishes with the Bonewits.

On behalf of S. Richer, a friend of the MPRC:

There’s a beautiful FREE HUGS event for next Friday, June 4th! I hope to see all Montrealers there! All hugs are FREE.

Date: Friday, June 4, 2010
Time: 5:00pm – 7:00pm
Location: Square Philips
City/Town: Montreal, QC

What am I talking about? Ever seen this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4

“The Free Hugs Campaign is a social movement involving individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public places. The campaign in its present form was started in 2004 by an Australian man known only by the pseudonym “Juan Mann”. The campaign became famous internationally in 2006 as the result of a music video on YouTube by the Australian band Sick Puppies.”

Here’s the link to the event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=130877826927282

In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After all, you just need to reach one person.
