Hello Cabbagetowners!
Welcome to another week of fun Cabbagetown news.
I'm working hard at putting together our new blog and am very excited about our progress with our Workshop Speakers, Calender Activities, and new partnerships with community groups.
I hope you all had a great week and were able to take advantage of our great Cirque du Soleil offer, just because it's getting colder out doesn't mean you have to hibernate just yet.
Lots of great things happening in Cabbagetown:
The Warehouse Mission
252 Carlton St.

Working Together to Make a Better You!
Have you ever had a job? If the answer is yes, then you need to see Paul Bellini's Job Fair!
Often fired but never tired, Bellini is best known as a writer for both The Kids in the Hall and Fab Magazine, but like most of us, he's done a lot of things to put bread on the table. The show dives into an employment history that includes working on a macho railroad crew; doing publicity for the Canadian Opera Company; running a photo booth in the subway; doing knife demonstrations in a shopping mall; DJing at a gay radio station; walking around in a towel on television; and best of all, working as a pornographer's assistant. All for minimum wage!
Often fired but never tired, you owe it to yourself to attend Paul Bellini's Job Fair!

Community News
It's nice to keep an eye out for suspicious behaviour and to say something before anything happens.
A warning to all business owners: a person or company posing as the Toronto Public Health department is calling businesses stating that they are obliged to purchase a first aid kit from them.
Cherry Bomb staff received two calls, the first saying that they had to purchase a first aid kit, a second from the "shipping department" asking to confirm the business address (which they declined to do.)
The callers refused to supply a name or phone number.
City staff have confirmed that this is a scam.
Please be wary, alert your staff, and do not fall for this scam.

Check out this link to a little video montage of the CYC kids cheering the Marathon on Sunday.
You will get an idea of the fun and of how much the cheering meant to the runners.
The Performing Arts kids did such a good job.
(If the cheering noise is too much, turn down the volume a bit.)
