What a wonderful evening full of love! Thank you to all the women that came out tonight for our 5th meeting! We are so thankful for you all! Not only did we get to hear from our special guest speaker Paul at the Goldstream Food Bank who received the donations from our last meeting, we also heard from 3 wonderful women who came on behalf of their nominated charities! We are thrilled to announce that our group voted for the Nana Foundation tonight, a great charity that helps out animals in need.
A special thanks for to Malcom Stevens and all the staff at the Four Points by Sheraton for hosting us again and to Brad and Ashley Kiss at the Royal Bay Bakery for your generosity providing our treats! We are so grateful for your continued support! We feel so thankful for the great tour today at Goldstream Food Bank that Gail Ireland & Paul Patrick gave us! We were so thrilled to be able to give them the donations we raised at our last meeting! Paul, Gail & so many other volunteers spend their time & energy not just at Christmas time, but throughout the year providing hampers to people in the Westshore, East Sooke, Highlands, and View Royal. Thank you to all the volunteers at the food bank for everything you do to help so many others in our community!
We are also so very grateful to all of our amazing group of women for coming together, being so generous & making this happen! You are all helping out so many families (650+) that need it the most, get gifts for the kids, turkeys, and gift cards in their Christmas Hamper this year! Thank you for having such beautiful hearts! Mark your calendars ladies, April 24th at the Four Points by Sheraton in Langford! We have not reached our goal of 100 members yet, so spread the word, or bring a friend! Your friend can vote on a charity and be part of our donation if they sign up to be a member online or at the meeting. The doors will open at 6, come early if you want for a glass of wine or a coffee. The meeting will start promptly at 7 for just 1 hour. If you haven't registered and would like to join, we would love you to be a part of this! We are so excited & happy to announce for our very first meeting, we voted on & raised $3300 for the Victoria Child Abuse Prevention & Counselling Centre, other wise known as the Mary Manning Centre! 😊
