[from Helen P.]
On August 28th, about two dozen of our friends and neighbours gathered with us at Camino House to celebrate the last days of summer and the promise of a busy Fall season ahead. Friends from St. Anne’s, Matthew House, Parkdale Neighbourhood Church, Urban Flute Ensemble, and our River worship service chowed down on beef-burgers, bean-burgers, and hot dogs, taking in the late summer-sunshine and enjoying a good old-fashioned community barbecue.
We at Camino House plan to make this a monthly routine; if you’re able, join us the last Sunday of each month as we gather to enjoy a barbecue/pot luck, and of course, each other’s company. As the weather gets chilly, we’ll take the party indoors, but we hope to enjoy a few backyard gatherings before the cold drives us in! In September (the 25th) we’ll officially “launch” Camino House, so stay tuned as we release details on times/all that will involve. Any ideas? We’ve talked about a house blessing, musicians, and the usual sharing of food, but if you have any suggestions, we’d love to hear them! Pony rides? Rappelling from the roof of St. Anne’s? We're open to ideas!
On a side note, Michael Packard predicts that our garden’s watermelons (which he has so lovingly-tended) will be ready by the end of September, so be sure to join us as we “bring in the harvest” at our next barbecue/house-launch!
