Fundraiser and Dance Party on Oct 9th!
September 19, 2014
Help us give back to the earth by by attending our Fall Fundraiser and Auction on Thursday October 9th! Proceeds from the fundraiser will directly fund our classroom and adult workshops and allow us to continue to educate children and adults about the importance of soil conservation, composting and creating and sustaining local food systems.
This event is all about having fun, getting your groove on to some fantastic live music, chatting with friendly folks and maybe bidding on one of the awesome silent auction items. You may even leave with a wheelbarrow full of Hoyne beer!
When: Thursday October 9th, 7:00-11:00pm
Where: The Fernwood Community Centre, 1240 Gladstone Ave
What: Live music from Knacker’s Yard, delicious local hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar serving Hoyne beer and BC wine, and a great selection of silent auction items to bid on
Tickets: $25, available in advance or at the door.
*** UPDATE ON TICKET PRICES: We have been hearing from a lot of people who would like to come but can’t afford the $25 ticket price and we’d like you to know that we hope you will still come to the event.
