The Uplands Cultural and Heritage Centre art gallery is exhibiting “Des pianos et des hommes” by Marcel Carey until April 29, 2018. After a career as a commercial photographer, Marcel Carey chose to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and his father and become a piano tuner. Thanks to this profession, he has met many people who welcomed him into their homes and he discovered the special relationship they have with music. With this exhibit he wishes to pay tribute to them. Uplands, 9 Speid Street, Borough of Lennoxville is open Wednesday to Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Participants wanted: English tea, a treasured heritage. Uplands Cultural and Heritage Centre is looking for men and women from Lennoxville (or any other English-speaking community of the Eastern Townships), who participated in traditional teas between the years 1940 and 2010, whether in their family homes or during social activities (charitable fundraising, various celebrations, parish meetings, etc.). We’re hoping to hear your stories, in order to help us learn as much as we can about the tea tradition in this region, with the goal of creating new interpretive material for our visitors. We would ask for approximately 45 minutes of your time for an interview. If you are interested in this project, or if you would like more information about it, please contact Julie at 819-564-0409.

SHERBROOKE
Plymouth-trinity United Church (at 380 Dufferin, in Sherbrooke) invites you to share in an interfaith Passover Seder. The seder, a festive holiday meal, actually means “order.” It is called this because the meal is done in a certain order which takes us from slavery to freedom. The ritual will be led by Rabbi Laurence Edwards, our guest from Chicago, assisted by members of the local Jewish community. Dinner will be a potluck (but please no leavened bread or pastries, and no pork or shellfish). Thursday, March 29, 6 p.m. RSVP to 819-346-6373 or Plymouthtrinitychurch@gmail.com, and tell us what you’ll bring! Bring your friends and neighbours, children welcome! This will be a fun and relaxing evening.
