Christmas is for giving at the Knick Knack Nook

The Nook's art sales and silent auction raised thousands for new Health Centre

The Nook has been raising funds for the new Health Centre for some time now. This week we were happy to turn over nearly $4,000 in cash, generated from advanced sales of art work, and proceeds from our Silent Auction.

On the subject of art, it looks as if the previously advertised art sale at the Health Centre will be postponed until March owing to delays in construction. 

However, some of the Art collection  will be available for sale through our account on Facebook. Look for ‘Knick Knack Nook’ on the Bowen Buy and Sell. The art featured can be bought for your personal please.

If you choose to gift it to the Health Centre you will receive a tax receipt. All the pieces have been pre-approved by the Health Centre’s Board and will become a part of a permanent collection.

Thanks to the volunteers at the Nook who give so generously of their time and energy; and a big thank you to all those Islanders who support us with their donations.
