FREE HUGS event // Événement Accolades Gratuites

1 June 2010

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

(version français plus bas)
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.

May West Island Pagan Brunch

4 May 2010

For the past couple of years, there’s been a pagan brunch in the West Island, for those who have difficulty making it to the more centrally located Pagan Brunch. It takes place on the second Sunday of each month, which this month falls on May 9th. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at my address below. (just replace the [at] with an @ sign.)

So here are the details:

What: West Island Pagan Brunch
When: Sunday, May 9, 2010 10:00 AM
Where: Dejeuner Inc.
3339-B, boulevard des Sources
Dollard-des-Ormeaux , QC H9B 1Z8
514-684-8000

As usual, we’ll meet up at Dejeuner Inc. on Sources Boulevard, and afterwards, weather permitting, we’ll go to the Centennial Park gazebo for some drumming out in nature.

Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend, or your kids, if you think they’ll enjoy the breakfast, chat or drumming.

We’ll likely be in the back of the restaurant again in the section behind the kitchen, so if you don’t see us, try back there. Look for a pentagram meetup sign on the table.

How to get there:
From Côte Vertu, take the 215 to Boul. des Sources and Brunswick.
(leaves at 9:43 to get there at 10:15)

From Fairview-Pointe Claire – Take the 215 or 208 to the corner of Sources and Brunswick.

The restaurant is near the gas station, in the strip mall facing Boul. des Sources.

Please remember to RSVP so that we can reserve the number of places sitting together at the restaurant. If you don’t RSVP you may be stuck eating brunch alone.

See you there.

Alex.
