Der Kanadier Internet Shop is open for business
Our webmaster Klaus has now set up a small Internet shop, selling a few things like Lahr books and videos, Black Forest calendars and other items that will remind people of their stay in this area. We will try to add more articles to our range in the near future and you can make suitable suggestions if you wish. German air-mail parcel costs are quite high - please order in plenty of time so we can send your packet by sea!
With kind regards, also on behalf of our other volunteers
Gabrielle, Marie-Hélène, Ivan and Klaus (see Contacts),
Trisha Cornforth
