All Dressed up for Fall Equinox

Today was a FUN day! Staff were all dressed in fancy medievalish fall colours. Some of us were not even "on duty" but showed dressed up anyways! The store is also getting dressed up!! Out came the Fall Decor box full of cloths for shelves and tables and full (like stuff packed full) of viny orange and yellow leaves.

The store houses a few different services for the community:

Shrine
There is a public shrine near the front window next to the fountain.

MPRC
The Montreal Pagan Resource Centre is the store space donation to this organization that serves the community with its little library and knowledgeable volunteers. They will let you sit and read, chat and discuss, seek counselling and advice, help you coordinate events and rituals, and keep you up to date with the activities going on in the Pagan Community. The volunteers have already started trickling in to hold open shifts. The MPRC will officially open in October. Go to their website to keep up to date with them.

CMS: Classroom
Crescent Moon School is back in full swing. This year the store houses its new classroom space as set up by the staff of CMS. It has a huge Marker board (a donation from the Level 2's several years ago), tables, chairs, TV & VCR (curtesy of the MPRC) & DVD (this uear's newest addition). Currently there are 3 classes going on: 2 Level 1 classes (English-Wednesdays 6-9pm & French-Fridays 6-9pm) and a Level 2 class Saturdays 11am-2pm. This great classroom is also available for discussion groups (sometimes hosted by the MPRC), seminars and workshops. The new list of public workshops will be available soon. If you want to rent the space for an activity, just come see Robyn or Scarlet here at the store.

And so we are getting all dressed up to have a great new season.
See ya there!
