This Thursday, June 15th our Neighbour Night facilitators have some exciting things planned in preparation for Neighbour Day (Saturday, June 17th). Read more about this week’s Neighbour Night event below.

The fabric has been gathered; sari fabric from Sima Chowdhury's aunt and leftover fabric from a theatre costume shop. Sewing items like thread, zippers, ribbon, buttons, needles, iron-on webbing and measuring tape have been donated by community members like Luminea Meredith. The facilitators have been assembled, Melisa Centofanti and me, Abir Bachir. The flag poles have been supplied by The Arusha Centre.

Get ready to start sewing and crafting!

On Thursday evening on June 15, at HSCA Neighbour Night, we will have a wholesome vegetarian dinner cooked by volunteers at 5:30pm, then at 6:30pm we will start to put our flags and capes together for the parade using donated materials.

We hope that your outfit pops in pictures this year for the Sunnyside Neighbour Day Parade on June 17 and we want to help you do just that. Start collecting your supplies and brainstorming your outfit, then join us to put together the finishing touches.
