Rave Reviews & Fundraiser

The Ferry Last Stop Café

If driving from the airport direction, it is just a little way before the Bell Island Ferry turnoff and is a tall green/burgundy house on the right-hand side. The food is delicious and the menu varied. They are closed on Mondays. I believe their hours are 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. other than Sunday which is 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The phone number is 895-3082. They have just opened and the hours may change a bit, so maybe call to make sure what the hours are. The owner, Paulette, said they were going to be putting a sign out the front with the hours. She’s super friendly, as is the staff. It is well worth a visit. Margaret K.

(The hours as of September 9th are Wednesday to Friday 4:30 - 8:30 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. and Sunday 9:00 a.m. - 5 p.m. Times might still be subject to change. So call ahead. The owner says she will open for a group at other times of the week. She would need about two days advance notice. Pia)

Jumping Bean Café

St. Thomas’ Line, Paradise. If you are out for a drive on any Saturday or Sunday in the area of St. Philips, you can drop into the Jumping Bean Café and have a cappuccino or a tea and sit for a spell. This little café just opened a few weekends ago and is striving to have the best coffee on the coastal road. The owner is also selling better quality olive oils, balsamic vinegars, pastas and loose teas. The hours are 9am to 5pm every Saturday and Sunday. The Café is about 5 km from the corner of Thorburn Road on St. Thomas’ Line. June A.

Buy a Plant, Grow an Education

WAMUN's 10th annual plant sale and raffle will be held on Wednesday the 13th September 2006 from 8 am to 1 pm in the lobby of the INCO Innovation Centre.

Please note the change of location from previous years. We will be selling house plants and some garden perennials. This is our main fund-raiser of the year with all profits going to 4 annual scholarships at MUN.

All students, faculty and the public are invited to come and "Buy a Plant, Grow an Education". We have a great variety of plants at very reasonable prices to enhance your home, office or garden.

Raffle tickets on several great prizes (most not plant related) will be available at the plant sale in the INCO lobby and also in the Arts building Atrium on the morning of Wednesday 13th September. Naturally donations to our scholarship fund are always appreciated.

The Women's Association of Memorial University welcomes all women associated with the university family and helps them to participate in university and community life. The group provides social and cultural activities for the members of the association and raises funds for scholarships for students at Memorial. For more information on WAMUN visit their website.
