Hello Joanne
I am adding a quick not here to let you know how we came across your exciting project. I am an elementary art teacher with the Cape Breton Victoria Regional School Board and teach art in four schools in the area. A couple of years ago Deirdre Nelson, from Scotland, and I worked on a wonderful exchange project with our students which was based on her research of Handa Island and the connections with Cape Breton. Deirdre sent along the information about your boat launch and fundraiser for Mary-Ann’s cottage and when I told my students about it they were keen to take part. I hope you are able to involve the students in your area as well, as this idea gives people an opportunity to make meaningful learning experiences for those who participate.
Along with the boats the class at East Bay School are including some information and photos to share with you and we will indeed follow your project in the weeks to come.
Expect students from my other 3 schools to contribute as well.
Good Luck - Nancy McLean.

Thanks Nancy! A few lucky folks in Caithness joined in a 3 day workshop at the Castletown Heritage Centre, Castlehill in March this year. Historical Knitting with Deirdre Nelson - it was hysterical knitting!! www.castletownheritage.co.uk
