Location change for Slow Quilting

We received the following email which we are sharing FYI.

The Hungry Traveler Cafe isn’t available to sit & stitch participants for the rest of the summer.

I have space to host summer sit & stitch and am offering to have it here at my place in Bridgewater.

I’ve reserved the space to meet on the second and fourth Monday in July between 2:00 – 4:00. In August, we can have the room on the 11th only.

I’m in Treehouse Village in Bridgewater – the address of our Community Bldg. is 39 Treehouse Lane. It’s the big building at the far end of the parking lot. I’ll put a sign on the door to let people know how to find the room.

Visitors can park in any available parking spot that does not have an EV charger.

Car-sharing would be much appreciated, as we don’t have a lot of available spaces.

If anyone needs more information, I can be reached by email: sue@aylesworth.ca
