Dear QART Members and Friends,
Happy Easter! Spring is on the way and the warm weather as well.
With this in mind, the QART executive is pleased to announce that there will be a Spring Fling luncheon at Ottavio’s restaurant on Wednesday, April 17th, starting at 11:30 a.m.
Ottavio’s is a very popular Italian restaurant. It is located on the north-west corner of Marcel-Laurin & Côte-Vertu. Its address is 1134 Blvd. Marcel-Laurin in Ville St.-Laurent, H4R 1J7. It is easily accessible and has a parking lot. Detailed driving directions follow at the end of this notice.
Ottavio’s offers good food at a reasonable price. You can check out the lunch menu at https://ottavio.ca/en/. There is also a gluten-free menu available as well. Ottavio’s is a BYOB restaurant that specializes in Italian food; including pizza, pasta & mussels. Tax and tip are extra. The restaurant’s telephone number is 514-335-7966.
We will need to know if you’re going. Our deadline for numbers is Friday, April 12th. You can contact Annie Schaffhauser by phone at 438-342-8535 or by e-mail at azuk1024@gmail.com.
QART will offer as door prizes two bottles of wine and two free meals. Each paid-up regular or honorary member attending has a chance to win one of these prizes. Guests are welcome.
Also take note that plans are being made for a QART AGM luncheon on Wednesday, May 15th, to be held at the Casa Grecque in Montreal North.
Happy Easter, and hope to see you at the QART Spring Fling.
All the best,
John.
1. If you live in the east end and intend to use the westbound Highway 40 (Métropolitain), here some things you should watch out for:
a. You have to get off of the expressway and go on the service road (Côte-de-Liesse). Use Exit #70. Once in the exit, keep to the left. Follow the signs that say Marcel-Laurin.
b. Stay on the service road. Once past the traffic lights at Ste.-Croix (Lucerne). Keep to the right and follow the signs that say Décarie. Very quickly, you will see a fork in the road, keep to your left. Follow the signs that say Marcel-Laurin.
c. Go north on Marcel-Laurin. Just before Côte-Vertu turn right to go east on Edouard-Laurin, at the stop sign turn left to go north on rue Leduc, then left to go west on Côte-Vertu. After you cross Marcel-Laurin, turn right to go into the shopping centre parking lot.
2. If you live in the West Island and intend to use the eastbound Highway 40 (Trans-Canada), here is a route that you can use:
a. Use Exit #64 and go north on Cavendish Blvd. Turn to the right to go east on Thimens. Follow Thimens until Marcel-Laurin. Turn to the right to go south on Marcel-Laurin until just before Côte-Vertu where you turn right to go into the shopping centre parking lot
We also gained a new member, Hilarie Cruickshank, a former teacher at St. Thomas High School in Pointe-Claire. Welcome aboard.
