under The Sea ...

After the winter that just kept on giving, we are all looking forward to the beauty of spring in our

neighbourhood: gardens blooming, kids taking their fun outdoors and our time-honoured tradition, Mayfair! This year, we celebrate its 70th year with Mayfair Under the Sea on Friday, May 8

and Saturday, May 9, so gather up all the little mermaids and Poseidons in your house and join us for two spectacular days at Rosedale Park. From the beer garden, live music and rides on Friday night to the parade, bingo, baking booth, silent auction, track and field events, games and BBQ on Saturday, there is no better place to greet your neighbours and friends! Ride vouchers can be purchased at Summerhill Market or Mooredale House between April 20 and May 6; these vouchers are valid for both Friday evening and Saturday. Keep in mind that we will also continue with the successful bike valet service so plan on pedalling to the park! As well, consider supporting the efforts of our preschool by purchasing raffle tickets – the prizes are always fantastic! The Mooredale Board and staff look forward to seeing you and your family at Rosedale Park for this wonderful multi-generational celebration. Mayfair is the largest and longest running volunteer community fair in Toronto and truly showcases what a special community we have, right in the heart of the city! See you at the park,

MooredaleNews Special Mayfair edition 2015

Marjorie BoothEXECUTIVE DIRETOR

The most wonderful month of May is finally here – time to join the fun at Mayfair Under the Sea and really celebrate spring in the Mooredale community. Here are

five great ways to participate and enjoy May with Mooredale:

1 Create your own ‘Under the Sea’ inspired costume, decorate your wagon, bike, or stroller, and march in the Mayfair Parade on Saturday May 9. You will find all the details about the big Mayfair event, throughout this issue. Sea horses, sea stars, sea shells, snorkelers, swim goggles, and beach toys around your waist – all great ways to look the part as you visit Mayfair Under the Sea.

2 Race around the bases and score a run for your softball team. We are still waiting for our permits at the time of writing – as soon as we get them our tentative schedules can be confirmed and will be posted at www.mooredale.com.

3 Pool Club members – get ready to energize and exercise in your favourite ‘oasis in the city’. Opening day is just a few weeks away, on May 16, and the pool facility has never looked better! The Pool Staff are busy preparing and are looking forward to a tremendous season ahead. (Other members are welcome to join the Wait List to be offered a space when available – call 416-922-3714 x100)

Down by the Sea… where the families goIt’s Mayfair Time … set sail and goFor if we do… our mothers will sayDid you see the kids waveIn the Mayfair Parade,Down by the Sea!

4 Explode some myths about sports parents – come and cheer on your Soccer players, encourage them to develop their skills for their own and their team’s sake, and make sure that you are modelling the kind of positive encouragement and philosophy that Mooredale supports.

5 Now that family vacation plans are getting firmed up, book your two weeks for your children at Mooredale Day Camp and the Preschool Summer Fun. Our Senior leadership team is busy putting the final touches on a very exciting program for all ages. Don’t be disappointed – register in May so you can confirm the dates you want.

Wow – what a month this will be! Drop by the Mooredale booth at Mayfair – it’s always fun to greet you, our members and friends at Mayfair. We will have all the latest information about summer programs and activities through Mooredale’s clubs and programs. See you in the sun at Mayfair!
