Welcome to the Community CAULFEILD COVE HALL Located beside Caulfeild Cove (aka Tiddly Cove) at 4773 Piccadilly South, St Francis-­in-­ the-­Wood church has extensively refurbished its under-­utilzed church hall and has kindly made it available to the Caulfeild community. It sits be-­ side the church with its own entrance hallway.

GRAND OPENING

SHARI ULRICH TOM TAYLOR Saturday, September 21st 7:00 pm

The massive vaulted and beamed ceilings are complimented by chandeliers and ac-­ cent ceiling lights that make the Hall a perfect venue for concerts, dances, receptions, pub nights, and more. The Hall’s entrance lobby is an historic tribute to Caulfeild’s past. No-­ table local artists have donated prints of their valuable paintings of the Cove for display.

Events have been arranged each month for the rest of 2013 and into the new year.

Come and enjoy!
