Our Stittsville Public Library Show was no sooner extended to April 30th than the Province went into lockdown. As restrictions begin to ease, we will see what the future brings.

It is one year since the sad passing of our beloved member Suzanne Marsden.

Her cheerful encouragement and ready smile are sorely missed.
