COMING IN JUNE
On June 29th, as part of the Film Committee's 'Fifth Wednesday' lecture series, renowned photographer Reginald Tucker will make a presentation on an exhibition of his photography which will be at The Hall until July 10th.
As he states: my photographs are my paintings. I am not interested in depicting “reality”. I photograph as I would paint or draw. I want images to have a physical presence similar to that of a drawing or a painting. I want them to assert themselves, to draw a strong response from the viewer. I am constantly experimenting so that I am always in a state of flux, always finding myself in unfamiliar territory. Through this process, I strive to deepen and extend my range of self expression. I want to reach far into memory and perception to express what I cannot express in words.
Thereafter, the exhibition will be open from 1pm to 6pm Thursdays through Sundays until it closes on Sunday the 10th of July. The artist will be in attendance on that afternoon and on several other days, schedule to be announced.
Title of Exhibition: London 1967-’72 plus recent work
ANNUAL PLANT/BOOK/BAKE SALE COMING SATURDAY JUNE 4 9:00 am to Noon. NO early birds please, last minute preps always take a lot of effort. Masks will be required and please bring your own bags and boxes.
The annual plant sale is coming back. Our volunteers are already making preparations and there are over 650 plants already potted however, if you are separating your perennials The Hall will gratefully accept them. They can be dropped off at 47 Pier Rd in Parrsboro. You can also call 902 701 8951 and leave a message and a volunteer will get back to you. We have a good supply of pots so our brilliant volunteers can take as many cuttings/removals as you can spare. Contributions to the book/bake sale also gratefully received and can be dropped off at The Hall Friday June 3 from 6:00 till 8:00 pm

Donations of your discards or surplus from your efforts to get gardening going this year will be gratefully accepted so if you have some 'leftovers' just call The Hall and let us know.
And mark your calendars on July 24th for the annual Band Day and bbq. Work is already proceeding to organize bands which will provide music for the afternoon and of course planning for the bbq is moving forward as well.
