A Big Success at Fundraising Dinner

Thank you everyone for the great support at the Holly Jolly Bollywood Dinner. It was a festive evening with great food and lots of people having fun together - and who could forget the sight of Bruce Roe or Bromley Basford in their delightful sari wraps!

More than 85 people attended and we raised almost $900 from the silent auction and a total of almost $3,000 from the event. These funds go towards the completion of our beautiful new deck. As soon as we hit warmer spring weather we hope to have the new railings attached and then commemorate the deck with a celebration event. Depending on how our budget stretches we will also do some light landscaping on either side of the deck by the house and hopefuly install some brickwork or patio stones at the base of the stairs.

QUESTION.... Does anyone have a good supply of patio stones or bricks they want to donate to the deck project? Lois and I are going to give the property project and fundraising a little rest for the balance of 2011 but we know that it also time to start thinking about some longer term planning for the proposed memorial garden area. Are there any keeners who would like to help research design options for this project ?

Thanks again for the ongoing support.
