Today the air is crisp and cool. The days are getting shorter. What’s the most natural thing to do? I’d say the answer is - let’s gather as a Community and enjoy a warm meal filled with comfort food and accompanied by good conversation. Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables, cranberry sauce, stuffing, rolls and apple tarts.
This year we will gather at The Legion at 1265 Scarborough Road. There will be two seatings. The first is at 5 pm and the second is at 7 pm. The room will be abuzz with connection and conversation and we are delighted to be your hosts.
For the past few weeks we have been selling raffle tickets in the Cove; one for an enormous basket of treats and goodies with a fall and Christmas theme and the other for a dozen bottles of wine. The winner of these two glorious prizes will be drawn the night of the dinner. How exciting to think that two of you are holding on to the winning tickets!
It is predicted to be a chilly winter so let’s get cozy, count our blessings and enjoy each other’s company with a fine and full fall supper. Tickets can be arranged by calling Lynn Williams at 778-390-0090. They are $20 for adults and $10 for kids age 10 and under. Cash can be e-transferred to our treasurer Sheila McCall, at msmccall@telus.net
Bowen Island United Church would like to thank Lorinda Strang at The Orchard Recovery Centre, and Cates Pharmacy, for their generous donation to our Community Event. And thank you to all of the volunteers who have given of your time and treasure. It’s folks like you who allow us to host this event and to maintain the tradition that has been going for many years.
Stay warm and restful everyone. We hope to see you Saturday.
