Thanks from TICA...

A big thank you to all that came out to the Flea Market and Cafe TICA on Saturday. Even though the rain made a few brief appearances it didn't dampen (ha, ha) the spirit of the day. Lots of interesting goodies to chose from at the Flea Market and to satisfy your hunger there was a great lunch put on by Cafe TICA . A big thank you to all the volunteers that came out and helped set up, display, cook, clean-up and pack away.

A big thank you to Virginia and her team for feeding the masses and to her family who all came out to lend a hand.

To those that helped set out all the tables and chairs the night before. Hats off to you.

These community events are fun and take a lot of volunteer hours and we thank all of those in the past, present and future who have and will help out at numerous events. If you want to get involved with any of these events contact a TICA member to ask how you can be a part of this team.

 

The next event on our community list is the Plant and Bulb sale on Saturday, October 4th.

We still need perennials for the sale so if you have an abundance of plants that need a home let Lesley Buhr know (416-1333). More information on this event will be coming to you shortly

Thank you

Gloria and the TICA team

Flea Market & Cafe TICA are on!

Vendors and diners will not be bothered by excessive sun.

Looks like the perfect day for a picnic BBQ at the Hall.  If by some slim chance the weatherman has goofed, vendors and diners will find sufficient tables tucked inside to carry on.  Relax on Labour Day...Shop for treasures & bargains...Enjoy some lunch...Take home supper!

SEE You Tomorrow, Saturday, August 30th, at the Community Centre

...Flea Market  11:00AM to 3PM

......Cafe' TICA    11:30AM to 3PM
