Curtain Closes on Reel Monday Movie Nights 

The Friends’ popular Reel Monday series offered its last screening at St. Albert's beautiful Arden Theatre in May 2024 after 19 years of special movie screenings of critically acclaimed films on select Mondays throughout the year. Special thanks goes to organizers Valerie Spink and Kathie Konarzewski for their many years of dedication to this important fundraiser and community event.
