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.
