Brain Freeze Trivia – It’s Back Baby
It’s a fundraiser for our precious Little Legion, which needs our help right now.
We will be socially distanced, outside where the Legion has been operating for the last few weeks. We even have tents and cover, so we’re good to go rain or shine.
So please come out for some dinner and some most excellent trivia.
Virtual ART ROAD TRIP with Marlene Lowden
We invite friends, colleagues or family members to join us for this three part video series. Use a long weekend road trip with your BFF as a metaphor for this online art adventure. There are 3 parts, each part invites companions to work together and support each other to create art studies. The exercises will push everyone a little out of their comfort zones and if they are practicing artists, out of their normal mediums. Don’t worry if you’re a beginner, this is for your too! We suggest that you and your art buddy do the exercises over the course of 3 days.

Friday Night Live for Sunshine Coast Food Banks
This FB Live event will bring people together, separately, for a great cause–raising money for Sunshine Coast Foodbanks. As we navigate this difficult time, there is an even greater need to ensure that everyone has food on their table–the best way to do this is to give the food banks money so that they have more buying power to get much-needed items for those in need.
As we are instructed to self-isolate/social distance, or even quarantine, Sunshine Coast talent will Go Live on Friday, Mar. 27 from 7 pm to help raise money for this very important cause! Click attending and tune in on Friday
