Annual fund-raiser a
success for Veritas

Contributed by

The annual Veritas Christmas
Bazaar was considered a success
by ali who participated in and
attended it. One hundred sixty
guests were served tea and
homemade goodies by Mrs.
Elizabeth Swan and Veritas
students. A bake sale, crafts
table, White Elephant table,
bottle table, Gingerbread Bakery,
a poinsettia table, facepainting
and games and the ever-popular
Cake Wheel (80 cakes were
won!) kept guests happily enter-
tained throughout the afternoon.
Information tables were set up
by Pro Life, Knights of
Columbus, Abba Prayer group
and St. Joseph’s Centre.

Joan Korpi was instrumental in
motivating the parents for the
various bazaar fund raising
projects, which brought in
money for much-needed school

equipment. Thanks also to the
Veritas students and parents who
baked or created Christmas
decorations, or donated toys to
the White Elephant table.
Special thanks to the
coordinators of cach stand and
their wonderful, hard-working
helpers, who prepared for weeks
to make this bazaar a successful
and joyful event.

A raffle draw was conducted at

‘the conclusion of the bazaar. A

large number of raffle prizes and
tea door prizes were donated by
local businesses. Heartfelt thanks
for your generosity and to Sandy
Norman for organizing collection
of the prizes and publicity for
the bazaar.

All in all, it was a great coop-
eration’ of Veritas parents,
teachers, Sacred Heart
parishioners and friends. We
were overwhelmed by the sup-
port and enthusiasm. Sincere
Christmas wishes to all!

St. Matthews revives —
Christmas tea and bazaar

by Nancy Orr

The St. Matthews Anglican
Church Women (ACW) have rein-
stituted their annual bazaar and
tea, held this year Nov.30 in
their temporary quarters on
Lakelse Avenue.

Rey. Eugene Miller opened the
Bazaar at 2 p.m, with a prayer and
wished everyone success.

The slight awkwardness of size
and space went unnoticed by an
enthusiastic public response and a
vivacious group of helpers.

ACW president and general
convenor Susan Kinney said the
ACW had traditionally always had
a Tea and Bazaar but discontinued
it when they moved into their pre-
sent building. Last year they
decided to give it a try again.

“This is our second year,” said
Kinney, “and we are so pleased
with the results, We have cleared
$1,634.17, which will help us
immensely.

“Chiefly we are raising money
to purchase new chairs for the
church. We also have various
church charities, including our
Foster Child in the Phillipines.

“The craft table was very suc-
cessful, it brought in over $800,”
she said. “That may be because we
tried a new idea, We have been
meeting every Monday morning
this past year at Norma Stephen's
to work on the crafts and it has
been very beneficial.” Looking
after the sale of crafts were Earla
Peden, Cynthia Preyser and Avril
Albright.

The bake table, under the care
of Muriel Michiel and Jean John-
son, was quickly depleted.

“T would like to thank everyone

who helped us so willingly and

made it so successful,” said Kin-
ney. “And all the people who
came to help us have such a good

‘bazaar. It was a great afternoon.”
