The Coady Picnic 
The Annual Coady Women’s Picnic provides an opportunity each summer for the women of Antigonish to welcome women studying at the Coady International Institute.  This summer the picnic will be held on Wednesday, August 18th , 2010 at 6:00 pm at the home of Charlie ten Brinke, Brierly Brook.  All are welcome.  It is an opportunity to share stories, learn about what women are doing in other parts of the world, to laugh and, perhaps, to sing and dance together.  Women from Antigonish are asked to bring a potluck dish. If you would like to bring musical instruments (drums, guitars) please do so.   If you would like to volunteer, we can use your help.  Please call Rae-Ann Haley at the Women’s Centre, 863-6221.  Directions

Ante Natal and Post Partum Support Group      The Ante Natal and Post Partum Support Group provides help and support to pregnant women, new mothers and mothers who have experienced a traumatic birth.  In a supportive group setting women can talk about their experiences, get answers to their questions about maternal health, emotions and depression, and learn how to maintain a healthy life. The Group is facilitated by midwife, Amanda Ashe.  It is a GASHA program offered through Lindsay’s Health Centre for Women.  The Group meets on Thursdays at the Women’s Centre.  Over the summer it will meet once a month on July 15 and August 19.  During the fall it will meet the first two Thursdays of each month: September 2 and 9, October 7 and 14, November 4, and December 2 and 9.

Creative Circle
Mondays 1:00 - 2:30 pm  Women are welcome to bring their knitting, crocheting and needlework projects and join the Creative Circle. If you want to learn how to knit, we can teach you. The Circle is a great way to meet new people and enjoy the company of women.  The last circle for the summer will be held June 28th.  We will then meet again in September.

Love to Sing? Join the Wandering Menstruals Mondays, 5:15 - 6:30 at the Women’s Centre
