§ i a ; Veritas School librarian Dolores Kuechle gladly accepts a door prize for the school library from bazaar publicity organizer Sandy Norman. Funds raised from the very successful Veritas Christmas bazaar will go towards the purchase of resource books for the library and other learning tools for the students. Annual fund-raiser a success for Veritas Contributed by Marion Schlegel 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.” Terrace Review ——- Wednesday, December 11, 1991 25 OVER 1.8 MILLION $$ IN QUALITY SKI WEAR AND LEATHER GARMENTS En WE WILL BE IN PRINCE RUPERT FRI.
