What happens when you suspect someone of doing something wrong, but you have no proof? Do you confront them? Tell someone else? Or maybe try to trick them into telling you what they have done? That is what this play is all about. It follows the story of Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the principal of St. Nicholas Catholic School, as she tries to uncover the wicked deeds of a Priest. Doubt was written in 2004 by John Patrick Shanley and explores the thought that doubt is not always a bad thing. 

There will be a concession with popcorn and drinks as well as a 50/50 draw. Please come out and watch a magnificent play with a wonderful team of actors while raising money for a great cause.

 

Regards,

Blind Beginnings Community Discovery - May 17

Hi Everybody,

 

I am writing to tell you about our upcoming Community Discovery outing on Sunday May 17.  

 

Families are invited to hear the orchestra play at Willingdon Church.  After listening to the orchestra, children will have an opportunity to meet some of the musicians and explore their instruments. 

 

Location: Willingdon Church - 4812 Willingdon Ave. Burnaby

 

When: Sunday May 17 at 11:30 AM

 

Parking will be reserved as well as seating in the sanctuary.  Following the service, musicians will join us downstairs in room 109.  Here they will demonstrate their instruments and give the children an opportunity to explore.  Snacks will be provided.

 

Families are welcome to remain in the sanctuary for the service or head downstairs when the orchestra is finished playing.

 

Our apologies for the short notice.  The event was not confirmed until now.  Please RSVP by this Friday if you plan to attend.

 

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!

Summer Camps at Bowen Lodge

Hi Everybody,

 

I hope by now you have all received a letter from CNIB explaining that thanks to several generous donors, some of the camps at Bowen Lodge by the Sea are back on!  CNIB has contracted Blind Beginnings to coordinate and implement three camps this summer:

 

1. Family Camp from July 30 - August 3, for children who are blind or visually impaired of all ages and their immediate family

 

2. Braille Literacy Camp from August 5 - 11, for children who are or will be braille users from 8 to 12 years of age

 

3. Teen Tech/Transition Camp from August 13 - 19, for teens who are blind or visually impaired from 13 - 19 years of age.

 

There is no cost to participants in any of the three camps.  CNIB will also do their best to cover any transportation costs for families who live outside of the lower mainland. 

 

If you would like more information or to register for any of these camps, please Email shawn@blindbeginnings.ca or call Shawn at: 604-434-7243.  Space is limited and the camps are filling up so please call now!

 

I look forward to seeing you at camp this summer!
