Sorrento Lions

Sorrento Lions Club

By Marilyn Clark We held our second famous pancake breakfast at the Sorrento Farmers’ Market at the Sorrento Shopping Plaza on August 15th which was well attended and a great success. We continue to assist residents by delivering groceries from the Lighthouse Market all while maintaining physical distance and will to so as long as we are needed. Since all of our fund raising projects have either been cancelled or suspended, once again, we would appreciate any ideas our community may have so that we may still be active while maintaining social distancing. You can send your ideas to sorren

tolionsclub@yahoo.ca . Our weekly meat draws at the Copper Island Pub & Grill on the TransCanada Highway in Sorrento will resume on September 18th, 2020 and run until June 18th, 2021 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The Pub will be following all protocols for a safe venue. We thank you for your support. If you are over 19 years of age (male or female) and would like more information about becoming a Lion, please contact the Sorrento Lions Club Secretary Lion Leona at our email address: sorrentolionsclub@yahoo.ca. We would love to hear from you! Check out our website at http://e-clubhouse.org/sites/ sorrentobc/ .

Carlin Hall News: What knew? What gnu? What news?

Submitted by Jane Stephenson

August 2020 is drawing to a close after a highly unusual summer. The area seems to have been as busy as ever and sometimes you’d almost never know there was a global pandemic happening.

Carlin Hall has been quiet since March. The Board of Directors has been working on ways to reintroduce programming, while following all of the Provincial Health Directives. Everyone’s safety is first and foremost and it takes everyone who walks through the doors to do their part.

Smaller audiences will be appropriately distanced from one another (unless with people from your bubble), the wearing of masks, sanitization, musicians using their own microphones, are but a few of the necessities that must occur in order for gatherings to be as safe as possible. The results of the recent survey completed by CHCA members and others from the public indicate support for these types of measures so that reopening can take place.

Yes, like everywhere else, people here are eager to gather again. Advance planning will be a must and people can expect a different type of format. Whether it is the set up for the October 3 Coffeehouse, the Tuesday Workshop and Wednesday Jam, the classes being taught at FACES on the lower level of the Hall, if we all row this boat together, we can be successful.
