WINTER COAT & BOOT DRIVE

You would meet in each others' homes once a month; taking turns hosting and presenting a book everyone has read. The presenter is the person who recommended the book. If you would like to become a member of this group, please get in touch with the office at 905-627-1424 or stjamesdundas@outlook.com
