Ten Thousand Villages store comes to Picton
St. Andrew's Presbyterian church is bringing a Ten Thousand Villages franchise to Picton's main street. Ten Thousand Villages is a retail outlet founded by the Mennonite Central Committee in the 50's to provide a venue for artisans to sell their products and receive a fair price.
The store at 217 Main St. will open at the end of November for 2 weeks to host a Festival Sale. The official opening will take place in April. When we provide artisans with a fair wage for their work we ensure that they can provide schooling and health care for their families. For more information call Lynne at 613-476-1167.

Quinte Grannies for Africa
A quick reminder about their calendar. It is still for sale and it is their major fundraiser.
One calendar will buy supplies for home-based HIV/Aids care visits or provide fees and school supplies for an orphan for a year. Two calendars will pay for garden seedlings that will produce vegetables for 6 months for a family of four. Four calendars provide a loan to a granny to start her own sustainable business or safe drinking water for her home. The cost is $20.00. To find out where to buy a calendar, please visit www.quintegrannies.ca or look for the poster in your local store window
Have a great week !
