Personalized Videos From the North Pole For Your Child – Last Day To Register
Dec 10 all day

In this year of COVID-19, the Grinch has been hard at work keeping us from planning our annual EPIQ HOHOHO Here We Go Again Children’s Christmas Party. Never fear, the community Wellness Centre still has something fun in store for our little ones!

A team of jolly volunteers from our EPIQ (English-speaking Parents in Quebec City) group is offering local English-speaking families the chance to receive a customized video sent to your child(ren) from Santa, Mrs. Claus or a helpful elf. The video would be personalized to your family for a small fee (see payment details below). All of the profits will go towards the 25th annual Community Christmas Hamper Campaign.

Be sure to register before the December 10th deadline. We’re aiming to have your personalized video link(s) in your mailbox by December 17th. Your child(ren) can watch the video over and over again on a smart phone, tablet, or computer screen.

The best news of all is that 100% of proceeds from this project will help make this Christmas brighter for local families who are struggling financially this season. The funds will be used to fill Christmas hampers with lots of goodness. To learn more about this annual campaign, please take a moment to watch this inspiring video. You can bring a smile to your child’s face while supporting a great cause! If you would like to help with this project, please visit the blog page about how you can get involved as a volunteer.

QAC: YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU
Dec 20 @ 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM

QAC PRESENTS ITS FIRST-EVER VIRTUAL PLAY READING

Greetings dear members, patrons and friends,

In these exceptional times of social restrictions and darkened stages, Quebec Art Company has decided to declare: The show must go on!

In the spirit of old-time radio shows (with a twist of modern technology), QAC is pleased to present its first-ever virtual play
reading.

We invite you to enjoy the quirky comedy You Can’t Take It With You, as performed by a group of talented local actors, all members of the QAC family, from the comfort of their homes.

Beginning Sunday, Dec. 20, at 2 p.m ., you will be able to view this exceptional performance from the comfort of your own home by tuning in to our YouTube channel here:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcAbIAO6flMFE5mADZqfwrg

Written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, You Can’t Take It With You tells the story of an eccentric family confronted by social standards and uptight socialites in the 1930s, an era well-suited to the “radio play” format QAC has chosen to present.

As this is a first for QAC, we are excited to embrace this new way of offering community theatre and encourage you to send us your feedback at info@quebecartcompany.com .

As always, we look forward to doing what we love doing … entertaining you!

Please subscribe to our brand new YouTube channel.

Take care of yourselves and one another.

– Cheryl Rimmer , President, Quebec Art Company
