This preschool space is available for meetings, and other gatherings. Booking is done through the office. The Work Party - complete with coffee/tea and donuts - will be a chance to make the rooms a bit more presentable. Everyone is welcome! If you are available to drop by for an hour or two, please let Judy Johnson know.
