Allendale On-Going Activities

In addition to our programs, we also run other activities throughout the year. Our calendar of events lists each of our programs and will include any further details you’ll need to know before you go.

 As with all of our programs, you’ll need to show your Community League Membership to join in or buy one when you’re there.

ONGOING ACTIVITIES

Join the Allendale Dart Club or the Allendale Bridge Club. They meet on alternating Friday nights at 7 p.m. Check the calendar below before you go for upcoming dates and more information about them.

Allendale Community Potluck

Interested in feasting together, meeting others from the neighbourhood? Follow Allendale on social media for the next potluck.

Drop-In Soccer and Playground Activities

Last year we had a “drop-in” soccer program for the little kids as well as some drop-in playground time. Stay tuned to our website and social media channels for more information on these activities as we head into summer.

GROUPS and COMMUNITY SHARING

GardenShare Project

Garden season will soon be upon us. Have you (or someone in the neighbourhood you know of) found that you cannot keep up the vegetable garden? The GardenShare project can team up untended backyard gardens with able gardeners who lack a garden. There are benefits to both. It could help a senior stay at home longer and produce can be shared. Each arrangement can be custom-tailored. We are looking to build an inventory of possible gardens in Allendale.

Pet Sitting Group

Do you have pets or wish you did? A group of residents are organizing to help look after each other’s furry friends. It’s a great way to connect with other animal enthusiasts and find convenient, local care for your fur babies. If you’re interested in joining the group, please send an email to allendalecommunityleague@gmail.com, subject: “Pet Sitting”.

Social Group

We are looking for a person, or a few people, who are interested in organizing an activity in the hall during the day for the retired or recently retired residents of our community. If this sounds like something you’d like to do please send an email to allendalecommunityleague@gmail.com and we will get you in contact with other like-minded people.
