July 2022

Welcome to the July issue. There's not a lot going on. We did manage to put together a few more blankets.

That first blanket was knitted by Bernie and crocheted by Nancy. The second blanket was crocheted by Nancy.

We received a few donations of yarn from a local resident, Wendy Maclean. That will help.

If you would like to make a donation, here are some of the ways you can do that:

The location of our registered office is

Last House on the Block Society

Welcome to the June issue of Under The Bridge, the official newsletter for Last House on the Block Society. A few usual things and one or two unusual things going on. One of our long time knitters and volunteer drivers has decided to also sit on our voluntary Board of Directors. That would be Leona Riley. This brings our board tital up to seven Directors. Our maximum is eleven. We have never been at our maximum yet and seven is our usual number.

It came to our attention about the tragic fire at Souls Harbour Resucue Mission last month. Luckily, no lives were lost, but there was a lot of damage to the facility. Fortunately, the comminity came together to assist Souls Harbour with donations of resources and time and Last House on the Block society was among those who were in a position to donate items. We donated six of our afghan blankets so that the persons using the mission as a shelter would have something to sleep under.

So, we've been busy knitting and crocheting blankets to replace the ones we donated.

We received a donation from Tony Mancini of District 6 to support our ongoing commitment to providing warm knitted clothing for the less fortunate souls in HRM and we would like to thank Mr Mancini for his assistance and support.
