I only booked a few tickets so please only RSVP if you know you can make it. Thank you.

Their programme starts at 10am but that's a bit early for me for getting there. Each competition has two slots so we'll see quite a few in the afternoon as well. We can decide which sound the most interesting and spend time at the stalls as well. Let me know what catches your attention! I'm very drawn to Best Rescue Dog and Best Trick!

This in turn with the yoga, will leave you feeling physically , mentally and emotional balanced and fulfillled. For health and safety reasons an Adult must attend and supervise the child.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B What does it mean to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world? In this gathering, we'll continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount from a mystical perspective. Together we’ll explore Matthew 5:13–16, looking not only to the passage as moral instruction, but also to the deeper transformation of consciousness that Jesus invites. Together we'll reflect on how spiritual awakening changes the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

The restaurant’s website doesn’t have the dinner menu listed. I took a picture of the dinner menu.
