About Us

Welcome to Our October Newsletter! 

Dear Community Members,


Welcome to October, a month filled with meaningful celebrations and opportunities for reflection. This month, we honor World Teachers' Day on October 5, a day to celebrate the dedication and impact of educators in shaping our future. Thanksgiving on October 14 invites us to come together in gratitude and appreciate the blessings in our lives. And, of course, Halloween, a time for fun, creativity, and community spirit.


In addition to these bright celebrations, October is also National Bullying Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness of the critical issue of bullying. It is an opportunity for us to teach and learn about compassion and kindness, fostering a community where everyone feels safe and respected.


This newsletter will also highlight our October activities and include some practical requests for your help. We hope you can support us in these efforts, and we look forward to seeing you at our events throughout the month.


Warm regards,

Olena and Melissa

We would love to hear from you!


As we continue to develop our activities, we invite our community members to share what topics you are interested in learning more about. Your input is invaluable in shaping our programs to better meet your needs and interests.


Additionally, we are on the lookout for talented individuals in our community who are willing to volunteer and share their skills with us. Whether you have expertise in painting, cross-stitching, woodworking, creative writing, yoga, history, languages, crafts, jewelry-making, or any other interesting talents, we would love to hear from you!


Sharing your talents not only enriches our club but also fosters a sense of connection and collaboration among members. Learning from each other helps build friendships and creates a supportive environment where everyone can grow and thrive.

Improving Our Communication with You


We are excited to welcome more people subscribing to our newsletter and joining our community in Lévis. To provide you with more relevant content, we’re starting to gather information on topics that interest different members. This will help us send more targeted communications in the future.


We kindly ask for your patience as we implement this process. By clicking the button, you’ll help us identify your interests. For example, we’ve already introduced a 55+ Social Community Club mailing list for dedicated updates to that group.
