IT'S BACK! THE ANTICIPATED FALL SHOPPING DATE AT PEPPERTREE KLASSICS! WITH AMAZING DISCOUNT! SAVE THIS DATE - Sunday October 5 12:00pm to 4:00pm at at Peppertree Fashions 137 Main Street MARKHAM (not Unionville) I have booked this shopping day for 11 years both Summer and Fall because of the award winning clothing and accessories, great discount and the amazing personal service. This discount will not be available for a couple of months to the general public and by then the stock is gone. I have been shopping in this store for OVER 30 Years - and the Owner Karen Piper asked about my group and suggested a shopping day for everyone - YES PLEASE! Over the years I have had so many compliments on my clothing pieces and shoes/boots and they all came from Peppertree! Karen has won numerous awards for her store - including female entrepreneur of the year many times - as well as Markham's favourite clothing and shoe store yearly. The selection is incredible and you will see a fabulous quality selection of items you don't see anywhere else! Customers drive from all over Ontario - and my members have driven in from Muskoka, St Catherine's and Kitchener to name only a few. Parking in front on the street or behind the store = PLEASE come to the back of the store – THIS IS A PRIVATE SALE AND NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC You will receive a generous discount off the entire store of new Fall fashions and accessories and did I mention the incredible service? Karen who owns the store has an incredible fun and funky selection of ladies clothing, shoes and accessories. Her clothing sells out so quickly – which is fab that we get this great discount when the store is so stocked with so many styles and sizes. The clothing literally sells so quickly you can see a completely different store of merchandise in only a few weeks. Don't wait to purchase (especially with the great discount) as the items will not be there in a couple of weeks! Guaranteed you won’t see this discount on all stock for many months. And a great time to support small business so they can stay in business!!! If you are looking to buy some Xmas gifts as well. Karen has Men’s socks and underwear – lots of amazing , scarves, purses and even some jig saw puzzles. FRIENDS AND FAMILY WELCOME!

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
