We look forward to welcoming you to the AREC Gala Dinner 2025!
Sâmbătă, 19 iulie, începând cu ora 12:00 PM, la tradiționalul nostru Picnic Anual AREC!
Ne vom reuni la NOUA LOCATIE:
Lemonville Community Centre
13453 McCowan Rd, Whitchurch-Stouffville, ON L4A 3Y5
Ca și în anii precedenți, AREC va pune la dispoziție gratuit crenvurști, cârnați și pizza (în limita stocului disponibil, pe principiul primul venit, primul servit).
Vă încurajăm să aduceți mâncarea și băuturile preferate, pe care doriți să le consumați și să le împărțiți cu ceilalți. Vă rugăm să rețineți că AREC nu va asigura un grătar. Dacă intenționați să aduceți carne crudă sau mici, este necesar să veniți cu propriul grătar.
Pentru a ne asigura că vom avea o atmosferă plină de energie, Florin Oprea va organiza jocuri sportive și activități distractive pentru copii și adulți, iar la final vom avea premii!
Copiii și tinerii care doresc să se implice ca voluntari în organizarea jocurilor sunt bineveniți și vor fi foarte apreciați.
De asemenea, dacă aveți scaune de picnic sau umbrele de soare, vă rugăm să le aduceți pentru a suplimenta cele câteva disponibile.
Avem licență pentru servirea băuturilor alcoolice exclusiv în interiorul clădirii. Vă rugăm să manifestați discreție în această privință în spațiile exterioare.
Pentru a crea o imagine unitară a comunității noastre, vă rugăm să purtați tricourile cu logo-ul AREC din anii precedenți, dacă le aveți.
Așteptăm cu nerăbdare să petrecem o zi minunată împreună, plină de distracție, voie bună și activități variate, alături de familiile și prietenii dumneavoastră!
Cu drag,
Echipa AREC
