Art among les arbres
Friday, Nov. 13, 2009, saw the inauguration of the first annual
Arts Among Les Arbres.
The event took place at Club Roma. A group of 120
students representing the culinary, music and visual arts took
part in morning and afternoon workshops, separated by a
luncheon. The day’s
workshops offered a variety of possibilities including
aboriginal art, banquet preparation & service, ceramics, choir,
drumming, floral design, jazz band, jazz vocal, and piano.
Following the day’s workshops, an evening art
show and cabaret performance involving student and professional
artists and entertainers took place.
Last summer's golf tournament
The
Golfing for
Children and Youth Tournament and
dinner took place on Sunday, August 30, 2009, at the Rolling
Meadows Golf and Country Club, Niagara Falls. It was sponsored
by Jericho House along with Community Living,
Port Colborne–Wainfleet, Ontario.
After torrential rains the day before, tournament day dawned
bright and sunny. There was brief rainfall during the
tournament, but the 54 intrepid golfers just treated it as a
refreshing shower. The golf was followed by a pitching contest,
a terrific banquet, and prize distribution. Everyone went home
with a prize.
Although the golfing was great, the good-natured banter and
laughter were even better. All had a wonderful time and vowed to
return next year, bringing along golfing partners. The committee
is grateful to all who took part and to all our sponsors for
making this year's tournament such a memorable success.
2009 barbeque
event
and 2010 one
The 2009 annual appreciation barbeque was scheduled for the new
property on Rathfon Road, Wainfleet (see maps below) on Friday,
June 17, at 6 p.m.
The barbeque tradition enables Jericho House as an organization
to express gratitude to our many supporters—and for everyone to
meet and enjoy each other's company.
Every year for all of its eight years, the barbeque has been a
big success, always with a warm and bright evening and a slight
breeze to keep it bug-free. In 2009, we
had relentless pouring rain.
Not
to be daunted, about thirty-five of Jericho's guests simply
moved from the shores of Lake Erie in Jericho, Wainfleet, to the
residence at Jericho, Welland. They
continued the grand tradition of good food, good company, and
good times.
We
all look forward to next year's barbeque. With construction on
the horizon, we are looking forward to a
July 2010 gathering that will take place at Jericho, Wainfleet,
rain (inside) or shine (outside).
