Craft in the Park

Mondays, 6-8pm

Every week, your friends and neighbours take over a park in Ritchie. Bring your craft, we’ve got the snacks.

Casual, friendly, weekly.

Do you need an excuse to:

a) get out of the house?

b) work on your crafts?

c) touch grass?

Life always seems to get in the way. But RCL has your back. We’ll be popping up at a different park or green space around the community every Monday for the summer. Bring a craft, blanket or lawn chair, your favourite non-alcoholic beverage and a brave attitude.

All ages!

Free!

Freezies!

Coffee Drop in at the Ritchie Hall

Come warm up and hang out at the hall on Tuesday mornings for “Coffee and Conversation”.

Caregivers of little ones 5 and under are invited to bring your balls, run bikes and ride-on toys and let the little ones have 'free run' of our large hall. Coffee is on for parents. 

Hosted by our Hall Manager, this is also a great time to chat with her about your upcoming rental or program idea, or to pick something up.

An RCL or other Edmonton League membership is required, and available to purchase on site. Supervision is not provided - parents are expected to stay in the space and monitor safe play. Hall Manager is present if there are any concerns. 

NEED TO KNOW:

• drop-in, no registration required

• free parking in our lot

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

RCL is looking for 1 or 2 volunteers to help lead our Tuesday morning drop-in coffee time. 

Time requirement: Tuesdays 9:45am - 12:15pm

Commit for a month, the summer, or indefinitely. Volunteers set up/clean up coffee cart and foyer space, welcome visitors and join in pleasant and interesting conversation with drop-in participants. This is a wonderful group and great opportunity if you're looking to meet new people in a low-pressure role.
