Darling White Lake Centre: Coffee hub

Monday, October 31, 2022

Coffee hub

Want to know what's going on in the 'hood? Forget the newspaper; come to our weekly coffee hub for all the ~~dirt on your neighbours~~ local news.

For $2 (cheap at twice the price) you can join your fellow citizens for a coffee (or tea, if you prefer, and, sometimes, snacks) and get brought up to date on all local current events. Who's dock floated away down the bay in that last storm? Who didn't get their boat out all summer? How much did that cottage sell for? Really???? And so on.

Beyond local events, you can expect (or initiate) discussion of national and international news and affairs, with plenty of opinions being shared (respectfully, of course).

And if you're not in a conversational frame of mind, retire to the library to enjoy the more solitary pursuit of reading. Thrillers, dramas, murder mysteries, true stories - there's something there for everyone's taste. And you can even take the book with you to finish by the fire at home. (Just bring it back, please.)

Join us. It's fun. Thursdays, at the Centre, from 9 to 11 AM.

The rental fee is $100 per calendar day (or part) if the kitchen facilities will be used in support of the event. For any event expecting more than 60 attendees the rental fee will be determined on a case-by-case basis. In all cases, prior approval of the Executive Committee is required for any rentals.

NOTE: If alcohol is to be served/available at the event, the renter MUST obtain a Special Occasions Permit (here) and provide a copy to the Executive Committee no later than 1 week prior to the event.
