Congratulations to: Kathy Krokosh, Evelyn Davidson, Marcia Saunders and Susan Woodward on their 25 years of service to the Khartum Ladies Auxiliary. We appreciate your service and dedication to support disabled children in the Khartum Shrine jurisdiction. Best wishes to you all.
We had a wonderful afternoon with great food and many ladies and gentlemen who attended the Tea and hat show. Ill. Sir Allan Hadley showed up in his morning suit with top hat to add to the event. We were entertained with a summary of 100 years of hats to see how ladies fashion has changed over the century. Fancy sandwiches and scones with jam and clotted cream and delightful dainties helped make the afternoon. We had silent auction prizes and a 50/50 that made the select few happy. PP Kathy had a large display of jewelry that she had made for the ladies to purchase. Thank you to President Lynne, PP June, PP Joy and their committees who did a wonderful job of this event under trying circumstances of the Coronavirus looming. Here are some photos of the afternoon.
Thursday, April 9, 2020 Khartum Shrine Centre Cocktails –5:30 p.m. Dinner – 6:00 p.m. Tickets $30.00 contact – Susan Woodward, Chair Ph. 204-832-2595 Email: [email protected] Thank you ladies and a special thank you to Eve-anne Kristjanson and Ruth McCorrie for conducting the Officers Installation part of the meeting.
I am looking forward to this year with great enthusiasm and I know you all will be behind me. Helping me and pushing me forward. Our first fundraising will be the British High Tea and Hat Show. This will be on Sunday, March 15 at 2:00 pm. The rooms have been booked at the Shrine House and now all we have to do is make tickets, sell tickets, get food, posters, etc. etc, But we will be ready - right - we will be ready. Our slate of officers have been arranged - except for the Vice President. This position is very important. I am sure that we all understand what could happen if we didn't have another lady in this position. We all want to continue to help the children. We have such a good time and we do so much good. So think about this and let me know. We have two ladies who have volunteered to feed us after our meetings but they need help also. We will be having the Bridge Party again this year as well as our Raffle - think about volunteering to see those tickets again. Also Morden's chocolates will be available again this year. This is just the beginning of 2020 but I am looking forward to it. Thank you all again for this wonder day. President Lynne Don Thomson, Hospital Coordinator for Khartum Shrine and Board Member to Shriners Hospital Canada was able to present a cheque for $1000.00 to the Board at the Shriner's hospital on our behalf.
The cheque is the one we donate in honour of our members who have passed away during the year. We enjoyed a lovely buffet lunch at the Viscount Gort with many ladies joining in the festivities by wearing a festive top. A brief meeting followed with a sing song and a delivery of Morden's Chocolates. Seasons Greetings to all!! Thank you to Valerie Webster for capturing the day.
