Special Events
The Special Events Committee is a working and fund raising committee which welcomes all ages from the
congregation to participate. We assist with church events but also have our fund raisers, like Family Day,
Bar-B-Que, etc.
From this Committee we have formed 'The Wednesday Club' for retirees and all members of the congregation
who are at home and would like to have a day of fun and games and to share any ideas you may have. Yoga
exercise class has now become part of our weekly get together.
Come and join the fun! For further information, please contact the All Saints' Church office.

SAINTS HAVE FUN
They didn’t wait for the matter to be endlessly discussed, prioritised and ultimately
specified in the relevant section of our Strategic Plan. No, the Special Events
Committee, aware that the need had been recognised at our Vision Day decided to
make it happen.
And so, Wednesday February 1st, 2006 saw the first special day for those Saints who were able to
attend - housewives, retirees and others not at work. It was a day of fun and games, talk and music
and even some light exercise. At the initial session, there were about fifteen attendees, largely
female. It is hoped that many more, especially gentlemen, will feel encouraged to go to the Memorial
Hall and join in, as a good time was had by all. Some stayed the full length of the session, from 9.30
am to 2 pm, others for just a part.
After a ‘getting to know you’ session, Carnival became the topic for discussion.
To the sounds of such old calypsos as ‘Shame and Scandal in de family’,
‘Working for the Yankee Dollar’, ‘Rum and Coca Cola’, and ‘Mary Ann’ (the
sanitised version, it was made clear!) memories of
Carnival of long ago were exchanged. Some played a version of dominoes
called chicken foot, but mostly they chatted, happy in each other's
company. Eventually they were stirred into action by Barbara Johnson, who took to the floor and
persuaded others to join her. Music played and a sequence of steps was demonstrated and quickly
learned - perhaps it was a new dance!
On Feb. 14th, 2007 we were pleased to have Mr Llewellyn MacIntosh - Calypsonian Shortpants and
Heather perform for the Wednesday Club.
Clearly this is a wonderful venture, deserving of our full support; our Saints are alive, indeed!
Assistance in the form of board games, suitable books and magazines, snack items, CDs would be
very welcome. What is most needed, however, is a small part of your time – perhaps just an hour on
occasional Wednesdays, when you could provide some entertainment or activity which the
participants would enjoy. Or perhaps you could help others to attend by providing transport?
Please call Mrs. Barbara Johnson (627-7244) or any member of the Special
Events Committee, or leave a message at the Church Office if you wish to
obtain more information or can offer any assistance.
