Community Day – June 2023

Dear Milk Lake Community,

This is John Shaw and Jenna Young, caretakers for the Milk Lake Retreat Centre in Middlewood, Nova Scotia.  We would like to invite everyone who is available to come join us for our “Community Day” on June 11th.  We will be completing various jobs around the property and cabins, along with sharing in a Llasang and a lunch.

11:00 AM – We will start the day with a Lhasang followed by a flag raising, then we’ll split off into groups to begin cleaning, stacking wood and some exterior painting of the cabin and barn.

1:00 PM – A lunch will be provided of sandwiches and salad.  If you would like to bring anything of your own to share that would be wonderful!  After lunch we’ll continue our tasks and wrap up our activities around 3:30 PM.

We recommend that you bring old clothes to work in, work gloves if you want to restock wood into the cabins and boots if you want to tidy up the trails of overgrowth!

Please RSVP if you plan to attend.  If you require a drive or if you have any dietary restrictions for lunch, please send John and Jenna an email at [email protected]

If this meeting day doesn’t work for you, and you’d still like to support Milk Lake please consider making a donation or booking a retreat.

 

We look forward to seeing you who can attend!

Thank you all so much for your support.

 

With appreciations from;

The Milk Lake Caretakers: Jenna Young & John Shaw
