The Canadian May long weekend celebrating Victoria Day has just passed. Here in Point Roberts that is when many of our northern friends officially open their cottages. For us summer has begun!
The Youth Philosophers Café will meet again on Saturday, June 4 at 7:30. This group began last September at the request of summer music camp teen crew members and is open to all youth who are 15 to 20 in age.
For these once-a-month evenings, the church social hall morphs into a ’60s-era coffee house with candles, a cluster of small tables, fresh baked goods, hot and cold beverages, live music, and great conversation on topics raised by those in attendance. This will be the last meeting for this group until fall, when the Café will again open its doors.
The Trinity Community Choir presents its annual spring concert Friday, June 17 at 7:30 p.m. The theme is Happy Together and the program features arrangements of familiar popular songs of the last several decades. Singing along is not only allowed, it is even encouraged.
