The new eco-float kits are set to arrive in mid-May!!! We are
organizing a 2 day work party May 21 and May 22nd to construct the floats at
the Grantham's Hall park. We would like to encourage anyone with carpentry
skills and/or a strong back who would like to help build the floats to
volunteer for a fun, productive weekend of wharf building!
Our new neighbors Andrew and Leslie, who have moved into the old post office
are graciously providing food for the weekend from their bakery,
Wheatberries.
So please contact Bjorn if you would like to volunteer May 21-May 22 as we put
together a community work party and together build the new floats.

Todd Clark - Painting! for Silent Auction
"Long Way Down" by Todd Clark. Wow! This is fantastic, thanks Todd. It is conservatively valued at $500. Visit his website at http://www.toddclarkstudio.com/
Here is a little blurb about Todd from his website:
I've always had a deep connection to the land within which I have lived, whether it be the open plains of Alberta and Manitoba or the vertical, sky-scraping forests of coastal British Columbia. My work calls attention to the beauty of these areas and their habitats.
My interest in art was piqued in childhood by the paintings of revered contemporary artists, such as Gordon Smith, Lawren Harris, Jack Shadbolt , and Takoe Tanabe, to name a few, whose work I grew to appreciate whilst studying at local galleries and museums. Later, as a elementary teacher, I also grew to love the art of children. Lawless and bold, their sense of expression inspired me to explore the canvas with almost reckless abandon.
My approach to painting is related more to abstraction than to conventional landscape. I take cues from nature, but rarely work from it directly. My sources are usually siphoned from memory or imagined. I enjoy challenging the established notions of landscape painting and at times my work is deliberately enigmatic. While painting, I find myself deconstructing and reinventing aspects of nature which are governed by an ecology of form and colour.
