What’s Happening at All Saints
There’s still time to register for our fundraising dinner …
The hall looks most inviting right now with all the tables set up for the fundraising dinner for Ukraine on Saturday 19 March from 5 pm - 7 pm. If you would like to come you still can - just call and leave a message at the office with your name and the number of guests. We would love to see you there. There will also be a few take-out meals available at the end of the meal (7 pm) so you can sign up for that too if you wish.
We’re actually sitting down to eat together on Tuesday 22 March from 6 - 7 pm we have our monthly free Community Meal. On the menu this month is sweet and sour pork with fried rice followed by mango ice cream for dessert. We would love to see you there. Again - there are a few takeout meals available but please contact us if you plan to take that option.
Here’s a message from Liz Macdonald for your viewing/reading pleasure:
The Most Excellent Liz MacD
As we begin to encourage more social activities at All Saints, including hosting receptions, community meals, and food related events, we are also aware of the necessary requirements and precautions to ensure the safe handling and preparation of food in our kitchen. It is mandatory that at least one person involved in food preparation, cooking and serving for an event holds a current FOODSAFE LEVEL 1 Certificate.
Some people have attended these courses, or have had their certificates renewed, and others are enrolled in the Continuing Education course being held at Delta Manor, Ladner on April 30 2022. Our monthly Community Meal is successful, but for those who volunteer to help, or would like to be involved in other aspects of food related events, I would encourage you to either take, or renew your Foodsafe licence.
The initial certificate, which involves an in-person day long course and exam is valid for 5 years, after which it can be renewed on-line. However, it is recommended that due to changing requirements and COVID precautions, people would benefit from repeating the day long training course and re-certification.
Foodsafe courses are offered through Delta Continuing Education, (604-940-5550) More general information is available at 1-800-505-9145.
Please contact Liz Macdonald, 604 946 0739 if you are interested in this aspect of volunteering.
All are welcome. Thank you
