Laila Biali and The Dream Café Real Deal, Dyed-in-the-Wool Blues: Thursday, June 20th!

Since when do we have to agree with people to defend them from injustice? -Lillian Hellman, playwright (20 Jun 1905-1984) 









Raised planters with cuke vines starting to climb; this morning's latest harvest!


Dinner: 5 tomorrow? Okay? Pauline and Mick If you have a fresh lettuce from your garden. It would be welcome to come too. We have run out Thanks Hi Pauline! Thanks for note about arrival time. We'd be pleased to bring lettuce. Unfortunately, not from our own garden but next best thing as from Farmers' Market! We'll make a salad with it as part of our contribution to dinner. How many people will be eating so we have some idea of size it should be?

Enjoyed a lovely time at The Dream Café this evening, with friends, Josinta and Aarturos. Laila Biali on keyboard, accompanied by Adam Robert Thomas, a simply wonderful guitarist, with an extremely powerful voice, as well. I only know her as host of Saturday night jazz program on CBC and had never heard of Thomas before. Very impressed with both as performers/entertainers. Buona Fortuna with your herd of grandchildren! See you at 5:00 pm this evening. Cheers, Patrizzio!Pics: Burns St and Dream: Two managers, Jim and Hazel, with Grant, sound man; Laila and Adam. 

There are 10 adults plus kids , but Polly says we have a bit of salad. It’s always a bit like the” feeding of the five thousand” but we always seem to make do ! See you both at 5 pm ish. Mick

Hi Patrick and Chloë Alexis: Ride Don't Hide is here! This weekend we will be gearing up and climbing on our bikes to bring mental health into the open. So grab your helmet and get ready to ride. We can’t wait to see you on Ride Day!

Bring Your Friends: There’s still lots of time to get involved and bring mental health into the open. Build or grow your team -- bring your family, your friends, your coworkers together to join you as a mental health champion. Register your team and fundraise today or register on location at KVR Middle School!

It's not too late to fundraise! We are 38% of the way to our $25,000 goal. It looks like a long way to go in a few short days, but with committed mental health champions like you on our side, we know that we can make it. Login to your participant centre at www.ridedonthide.com/login now to spread the word, share your story and invite your contact to stand shoulder to shoulder with you for mental health.

Incentives! We want you to know how deeply we appreciate your stand on mental health and your participation in Ride Don’t Hide. So we’re holding a few contests in your honour, to celebrate your efforts. There’s no minimum to enter – every dollar you raise counts!
