The Alouette Men's Shed "Movember" Project is well underway and has exceeded our original goal of $500 that we set as our donation for this project.
" Movember" connects very well with many of our members as it promotes research on Prostate and Testicular Cancer which is very near and dear to many men of our age group.
The "Movember" movement ties in very well with the Men's Shed movement as it promotes men's mental and physical wellbeing.
One of our members, Sam, came up with the idea of building bird houses that had a whimsical look of an old man and then to sell them to support the cause.
At this time, we have built and sold over 40 bird houses and still have a few more to go.
We have been at a couple of craft markets and wellness fairs, and we have come home empty handed - meaning that we have sold out.
If anyone else would like to support our efforts, you can always stop by our workshop on Tuesday and Thursday at the Ridge Church or we will be at one more craft market at Community Services Craft Fair in Maple Ridge next Saturday.
come on by and say Hi.
