Easter Cookie Kits!!!
Bright Beginnings Child Care has fundraiser for our new playground!
We have teamed up with local baker Keshia from Emke’s Sweets in Paisley to bring you and your children the perfect Easter activity!!! You have the choice of a small or large kit. Details are on the order form below!
Order forms and payments are due back by 2pm on March 23/26! Please contact myself, a childcare staff or parent for orders. Payments can be made in cash or e-transfer!
Kits will arrive and be ready for pick up at the centre on April 2 after 3:30pm! Each family is responsible to pick up the kits they have sold!
Looking to collaborate with a local business!
Reactor Room is preparing to move into a new space and we are exploring the opportunity to partner with an existing business that may want to expand into a second location.
We are looking for a partner interested in operating a small food and beverage component within the space. The concept would focus primarily on beverages with a simple menu such as burgers fries and light snacks designed for quick and easy service.
This could be a great opportunity for a local restaurant bar or food business that wants to grow their brand in a new location without taking on a full standalone expansion.
Reactor Room is working on something new and exciting and this next phase will bring a completely different experience to the community.
If you or someone you know may be interested in collaborating please send us a message.
Stay tuned as we reveal more details about this exciting venture.
