- It’s Time to Renew or Purchase Your RCA Annual Membership
September is the perfect time to buy an RCA membership to experience everything the RCA has to offer. The first RCA member, David McWilliam, believes every household should have one. He encourages anyone considering a membership to not hesitate, as it’s a way of showing pride in your community.
- Fall Programs
Fall programs will be starting again in the upcoming weeks. We are happy to introduce several new programs, such as Learn to Knit, Tai-Chi, and Crafts Club.
- Riverbend Fall Fair
We will be hosting our Annual Riverbend Fall Fair on Saturday, November 2, 2019, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. The central location of Riverbend community ensures high shopper attendance and a great variety of vendors participating. With the help of many volunteers, the 2018 Fair had more than 500 shoppers in attendance and was one of RCA’s best events to date. Vendors can register online. We will also require volunteers to provide support during the event. Registrations for both vendors and volunteers are available on www.riverbendcommunity.ca.
