Apologies for being slow to post about our SUNDAY, APRIL 12th WOMCafe! A memorable afternoon welcoming Actor COLLEEN VERDA WRIGHT; Visual Artist MICHAEL EM; a wonderful Chesterville Man and Storyteller named ELDON YORK who also collects violins; and a quick drop-by-for-a-coffee from our beloved retired Journalist BERT HILL. No Musicians performed today, but still a treat for all the Artists who shared and enjoyed one another's company and convo!
