Shed Some Hope for Habitat for Humanity! How YOU can help!

Posted on Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

Habitat for Humanity may have helped house your neighbor, or a friend. Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to helping everyone have decent and safe living conditions. Let’s help break the cycle of poverty! Here are some alarming facts:

- 1 million Canadian families cannot afford shelter and other basic life necessities
- Over 500,000 Canadians spend more than half their household income on rent.
- 1 in 7 children live in poverty
- 4 Million Canadians do not have affordable decent living
- The state of homelessness and inadequate housing in Canada is a NATIONAL EMERGENCY!

Habitat for Humanity right here in Prince-Edward Hastings raises funds to help put an end to this. This is how it works:

- Identify eligible homeowners and prepare them for ownership
- They help them build their homes with volunteer labour and donated materials
- Sell them the home with no interest, no profit and no downpayment through a mortgage held by Habitat for Humanity
- All mortgage payments are reinvested back into the homeownership program

So here is something you and people you work with, or even if you want to get a group of friends together, and Shed Some Hope! Habitat is looking for groups of 10 to fundraise, and will have a project to complete. The entry fee is $1,000 (which you can collect through pledges!) We encourage to to exceed that goal of course :)
Your company name and logo is prominent through the event, radio mentions, opportunity for recognition and more!

The entry fee also pays for your materials for your project, which is to build a basic shed! But not just any shed, you get to have fun with it! One will be a children’s club house, gardeners delight, man cave and more! Prizes are being awarded to the most creative, best in show, etc.

To get in touch with Habitat to get involved, or to get more info, please visit their website!

Moira S.S puts on Harvey

Posted on Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

Moira S.S kicks off it’s production of the comedy “Harvey” tonight!
It starts at 7:30, and runs from the 16th to the 18th.
Tickets are only $10 and are available at the door.

So what’s Harvey about?

Harvey is a play first performed in 1944, and penned by American playwright Mary Chase.

Elwood P. Dowd is an affable man who claims to have an unseen (and presumably imaginary) friend Harvey — whom Elwood describes as a six-foot, three-and-one-half-inch tall pooka resembling an anthropomorphic rabbit. Elwood introduces Harvey to everyone he meets. His social-climbing sister, Veta, increasingly finds his eccentric behavior embarrassing. She decides to have him committed to a sanitarium to spare her daughter Myrtle Mae and their family from future embarrassment.

When they arrive at the sanitarium, a comedy of errors ensues. The doctors commit Veta instead of Elwood, but when the truth comes out the search is on for Elwood and his invisible companion. When Elwood shows up at the sanitarium looking for his lost friend Harvey, it seems that the mild-mannered Elwood’s delusion has had a strange influence on the staff, including Dr. Chumley and his medical partner Dr. Sanderson. Only just before Elwood is to be given an injection that will make him into a “perfectly normal human being, and you know what bastards they are!” (in the words of a taxi cab driver who has become involved in the proceedings) does Veta realize that she’d rather have Elwood the same as he’s always been — carefree and kind — even if it means living with Harvey. -Wikipedia.com
