Bundy's Book Club
On the first Sunday of every month, join us in the cafe for Bundy’s Book Club. On January 5th we will introduce the first book and have copies for sale. The books will always focus on some aspect of environmental conservation, ecology or our relationship with the earth and its inhabitants. In subsequent meetings, we discuss what we learned and enjoyed about the book and then introduce the next book. Book Club is always free to attend, with coffee or other refreshments available to purchase. It is open to younger people, but most books will require an adult level of reading ability. Audio book ‘readers’ are always welcome too. Feel free to bring children or babies who will be happy to play in the Book Den.
January’s book is Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
Family Meal
A FREE, nourishing, wholesome dinner every second Friday night at 6:00pm. Open to everyone in the community. We won’t be serving you, we’ll cook and then sit and eat with you and we’ll have a chat and connect and then we’ll all help to clean up. Food will be vegan and gluten free, to cater for the most people. An early dinner so you can bring the kids or come after work.
