Another month brings another edition of the Parkdale High Park OEYC monthly calendar of programs. 

I know everyone is just itching to open the attached pdf file and gaze at the glorious wonder which is the December calendar, so I’ll make this quick:

• All registration for our registered programs is done over the phone.  I know it’s sometimes hard to get through to Joanie when registration begins and that’s because some of our programs are pretty darn popular.  All I can do is advise you to keep trying.  Please do not leave a message on the voicemail machine as by the time we check our messages, the program you may be trying to get into will already be full.  Additionally we don’t accept registrations via e-mail.
• I want to thank everyone who came and joined in the fun that was our Halloween Potluck Party.  I have to say that it was an absolute blast and I hope to have pictures up on our board shortly so everyone can see all the different ways people dressed up.  Thank-you to everyone who brought a dish and contributed to the potluck.  Please remember that for our upcoming Holiday Potluck Party in December that all food should be peanut-free and otherwise; please remember to bring a dish!
• Registration for the December calendar will begin next Friday November 14th 2008 at 1:30 PM. 

Alright, so maybe that wasn’t short but at least now you can finally open the December calendar.

Remember if you have any questions; feel free to contact us here at the OEYC.
