A total of five adults and 5 teens are required to make the competition work! Word lists will be provided. Teams can create their own names and slogans. Playful trash talk is acceptable (remember to keep it clean) during the competition. The winning team will receive an “I won The Ramara Public Library Spelling Bee” T-shirt!

BABY SIGN TIME!
Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. until March 27
Help your baby learn to communicate and learn baby sign language. Babies can learn to recognize and use simple signs as early as 6-9 months of age. Signing can reduce frustration and tears by allowing babies to communicate what they want and need and can help parents and babies to nurture closer relationships.
Come join our fun, song and play-based class while learning the basics of baby signing! Siblings welcome.
STAR PARTY – ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF CANADA
Tuesday, March 27 at 7 p.m.
Have you recently acquired the observing habit? Or the even more addictive astro-imaging bug? If yes, then join our very own local “Star Party”. This is a great way to enjoy observing the sky with other amateurs, networking and learning from professionals. What could be more fun on a cool, crisp spring evening? Join us for a presentation to introduce you to astronomy and then move onto the night sky. It’s a rain or shine event, so we’ll use either the real sky or virtual planetarium software to show the night sky!
