The Third Alice!!!

Yes, at least three Alices can be found at the Martin Centre most days!
This week there was a surprise birthday cake for
ALICE POWER! 


                                                                                                                                                               We didn't have time to count the candles when blown out,
as the cake was whisked away,
and came back cut up for everyone present to have with a tea-break
during this week's Wednesday Music Session. 
Congrats, Alice!
