Christmas Bazaar and Tea (December 4th)  - it is less than a month away from our Christmas themed bazaar and tea, the table leads would very much like to know if you will be donating to the pantry and/or to the bake table, if so, please let Jacquie Stinson know what you can contribute. This just helps with our set up.

Kelly Foulds is accepting previously loved jewellery and the sooner she has it the better she is able to get her preparations done. We are also looking for Christmas decor in excellent condition. Set up will be on Friday, December 3 at 4:00 pm - we will need help with table set-up please. Delivery of all goods between 4:00 and 6:00 pm. If this time does not work for you then please make arrangements with the table leads to receive your donations.
