Maple Ridge Club’s Wine Fest on April 28th 

SFPP confirmed 8 Foodies and 22 or 23 brewers on Thursday May 10th. Now we need to get busy and sell tickets.

Sasha, who is interested in studying Political Science and Law in University, gave her speech on the 4-Way Test in relationship to the 19th Amendment to the US constitution passed in 1920 giving equal rights to women. If the Founding Fathers had an early version of our 4 way test they may have had this amendment much earlier. Very interesting interpretation.

Rohan’s talk was based on the value of volunteering. He has been volunteering since he was 9 years old when he started making peanut butter and jam sandwiches for the DTES residents and has been volunteering regularly at food kitchens for folks in need. He related the joy that comes from volunteering to the 4 way test.
