Mary Jane’s Cooking School, 252 Arlington Street

Over the years to celebrate my birthday, I've raised awareness of and funds for a number of charities and organizations close to my heart. This year I've chosen to raise money for Mary Jane's Cooking School (MJCS) which provides education in nutritional home cooking in harmony with individual community and cultural traditions, with respect and care for the environment. Mary Jane Eason is a trail blazer who continues to give her time and knowledge to the community.

Mary Jane’s Cooking School has provided education in both drop-in classes and formal class settings. Some classes have met off-site, at such locations as St. Margaret’s and Holy Trinity Anglican churches, at the Saigon Centre of the Free Vietnamese Association, and in the West End Senior Centre.
With the assistance of Native elders, MJCS includes program information and activities particularly relating to aboriginal culture and spirituality. 

Tax receipts will be issued for any donation above $10. 
Cheques should be made payable to Mary Jane's Cooking School and sent to 252 Arlington Street, Winnipeg, Mb, R3G 1Y8. 

Light refreshments will be served. If you can come by for a visit, I'd love to see you. If you can't make it, I'd very much appreciate your contribution. Thank you. Merci beaucoup. ~ Janine Le Gal

Valentine’s Day Cards for Women's Shelters

Drop the cards at Pembina Hair at 669 Pembina Highway by February 1, 7 pm, or arrange with us another way to get them to us.  We'll send them out for you or you can choose a shelter you want to support, let us know and send the cards there yourself.
We're accepting cash donations to purchase supplies and pay for postage.

The last two years we've made valentines for shelters and sent our love to people who might need a little extra on Feb. 14. Last year the cards were sent to women's shelters across Canada in time for Valentine's Day. This year we're hoping to send out even more.
