We're getting busy in the next few weeks

On Tuesday 17^th July we have our Community Support Group meeting.  This is an important meeting.  In only a few weeks’ time we will have opened the doors on Heathside.  There will be loads of new faces arriving:  new assistants, new people with learning disabilities and new family and friends.  From October our community meetings will start to look very different.  We need to get ready to welcome these new people. 

Come along and join in the discussion on plans for the coming weeks and months.  Where should we hold meetings from now on?  When should we hold them?  Should we start to have two separate meetings:  one for “Friends of L’Arche Manchester” and another for people linked to the Heathside house?  Should we start a separate Fundraising Group?

There are lots of things to consider and getting it right could make a huge difference to the success of the first few months of Heathside’s existence. 

Also we have a Boogie Night on Friday 20^th July.  I know many of you will be leaving for Summer holidays soon so this is our last chance to all get together before we head off.  Come along and boogie and meet some new people.  Pass this on to friends and let’s get a really good turn out!

On Wednesday 1^st August we have our regular Prayer Evening.  I know lots of us are away that week but we decided to leave the date in as it is important to be faithful to our regular attenders so if you are free on that evening why not come along and find out why our prayer evenings have been so well received.

If we don't see you at one of these events, have a great summer anyway.
