At Cates Hill Chapel, starting at 7 p.m., more than 300 of the most interesting and valuable items that Islanders have dropped off at the Knick Knack Nook will be auctioned off to raise money for the Caring Circle. This is the third such gala auction, and in the past it has been a great success as a fundraiser and also as a night out.
For a sneak preview of 40 of these items, go to
caringcircle.ca. The following are a few of the other items you will find up for grabs on Saturday: a brass eagle dancer with removable mask; a 19th century ginger jar; a B.C. Ferries wooden toy; and a Chinese chest with brass hardware.
LETTER - THE NOOK JUST KEEPS GIVING
Dear Editor:
Last week Katherine Lawrence of the Knick Knack Nook called and made my day.
The Knick Knack Nook’s biannual Gala Auction is Saturday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. at Cates Hill Chapel in support of the Caring Circle. In addition to this biannual event, the KKN holds a monthly in-store mini-auction of selected items they receive as donations. Katherine told me that the board of the KKN would like to offer the Bowen Island Health Centre Society the proceeds from the upcoming November and December mini-auctions!
The Health Centre Society was formed to provide improved access to primary and urgent health care on Bowen Island. We are actively working towards providing a community-owned integrated health care facility and attracting the primary-care physicians and other health care providers needed to improve health care access for the community.
The society joins a long and growing list of organizations and individuals the Knick Knack Nook has supported through grants and bursaries over the years. On behalf of the Health Centre Society, thank you to the board and volunteers of the Knick Knack Nook – you just keep giving!
Tim Rhodes, president, Bowen Island Health Centre Society
