Month: March 2019

Not only did the Fernwood Inn donate an auction item to our Syrian Dinner event … they also offered to help us with our next event … music bingo!

We have limited tickets and fabulous prizes, this event will be a great casual night out

When is this amazing fun event, you ask? Wed, 24 April 2019 from 7:30 to 9:30 PM PDT

Oh, and did I mention fabulous prizes? Yes I did!

Put your music knowledge to work to win a Grand prize of a night of stargazing at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory. Hum along with the tunes while compete to win restaurant gift certificates, designer jewelry, yoga classes, and movie passes.

Tickets are now available online, so grab your friends and join us April 24 at Fernwood Inn!

Thanks to you — our supporters, volunteers and donors — our March 8 Syrian dinner has raised $6900!!!

We met our goal for this event by eliminating travel debt for the family we have been supporting this year, and making a great start in raising funds to sponsor a third family.

Not only was the event successful, it was enormous fun! Here are some photos of our wonderful volunteers, setting up, serving the delicious Syrian food (cooked by volunteers!), and a shot of the auction table with all the wonderful donated items.

These greater Victoria businesses have really come through to support our SOLD OUT Syrian Dinner fundraiser on March 8.

The dinner features a Silent Auction and here are some of the donations we have received:

We have a weekend get away at the luxurious Delta Ocean Point Hotel, use of the VIP Corner  Suite for you and 20 guests at a basket ball game night nest year thanks to UVIC’s Vikes Athletics and Recreation (UVIC), a night stay for two at the beautiful Chateau Victoria, Yoga in your home, personal training sessions with Daniel Bednarski at Sweat Athletics paired with passes donated by Quadra Sports & Fitness,  Belleville’s restaurant, Fernwood Inn, Fernwood Pizza, a gift certificate from Oak Bay Seafood, a class with bon macaron, a personal tour of the HMCS Vancouver naval vessel, hand made jewelry and books!

Just look at these beautiful auction items, including a unique carved wooden box, an artistic glass bowl, a large silver bowl from Bungalow, jewelry from Mimi + Marge, and the perfect book for our event from Munro’s:
