You just sit around a table with a a couple other Q elders, and tell stories about the good — and bad — old days, to youth? It’s the Elderberries Storytelling Salon - we’ve done a number of them and it’s always nice to have new people. It's quite fun. It's not a stand-and-delver a speech, it's sharing stories with fellow pioneers of our community in "that reminds me of a story" format -- and folks listening in. What do you say? There’ll be refreshments and a tiny stipend. Looking forward to seeing you Saturday! Christ Church, 50 Wentworth Street, Dartmouth, about a 5-minute walk from the ferry terminal. Sessions will start at 2:15 and 3:00. Please show up 15 minutes before or come for the whole afternoon. '''WHAT:''' "That Reminds Me Of A Story" small panel story telling. Two sessions; each session starts at the top of the hour and ends about 10 minutes to the next hour for refreshing the audience and storytellers. ===Storytellers=== * [ ] means "not invited yet" * [/] Invited - haven't heard back yet * [-] No Previous Storytellers * Anita * David Leblanc Dan FB * Don Murchy DAN fb * Mike Davies-Cole DAN fb * Nancy McKinnell * Lynn Murphy * Richard Crooks * Lorne Izzard * Stephanie Brown * Trish Spark * THIS LIST iS INCOMPLETE To Invite * [-] Allison - no, out of town * [ ] Andrea Currie * [ ] Anne Bishop * [ ] Barend * [ ] Dr Bob * [ ] Chris Aucoin * [ ] Brenda Hattie * [-] Bernadine Lapointe: no - way WAY out of town * [ ] Bryn Jones-Vaillancourt * [ ] Carol Millett via Lynn * [ ] Carolyn Gesner * [ ] Carrie Melsom * [ ] Deb Mathers * [ ] Diann Graham * [ ] Donna Ross (FB) * [ ] Eric Smith - BAREND * [ ] Glenn Walton * [ ] Greg Homer * [-] Ian Crowe "not my kind of thing" * [ ] Jane Morrigan * [ ] Janine Thibodeau * [ ] Jenn Nearing - FB note 2021-07-10 * [ ] John Marr * [-] Kate Krug (Cape Breton) * [ ] Kath Cure * [-] Kevin Kindred no - he's in Vancouver * [-] Krista Snow no - just recovering from a bunch of things. * [ ] Lara Morris (Wayves ml) * [-] Linda Furlought - no * [ ] Lorne Izzard * [ ] Maureen Shebib mshebib@eastlink.ca * [ ] Meredith Bell * [ ] Nancy Brister - lives in the valley * [-] Nathan Elling - no - has plans that day * [-] Norman Moulton - No - away until July 17 * [ ] Paula Wedge * [ ] Ramona Westgate * [ ] Reg Giles * [ ] Robin Metcalfe * [-] Robyn Badger (contact: Pauline) No - sick. * [ ] Sue Burns * [/] Terry Parker - Dan contacted * [ ] Trish - no. * [ ] Miss Vicky — via Cecil 902-405-1283 No - for good * [-] Gloria Borden RIP
