Salt Spring FOREST OF MIRACLES

DATES: Saturday December 3 – Saturday December 17, 2022

LOCATION: Harbour House Hotel, Salt Spring Island

THE EVENT: Country Grocer is donating 10 Christmas trees to the event. The Chamber of Commerce invited businesses to sign up for a tree on a first-come, first-serve basis. The cash portion of the entry fee goes to Copper Kettle, the other half will be used for prizes at the tree auction.

Each participating business created some Christmas WOW! by decorating its tree in an extraordinary way! These decorated trees can be viewed at Harbour House Hotel, from Saturday December 3 through Saturday December 17. Entry fee for the public to view the ‘tree show’ will be a non-perishable donation to the Food Bank of SSI (to be dropped off at the Hotel).

THE AUCTION: On Saturday December 17, at 3:00 pm, there will be an auction event at the Harbour House Hotel. Attendees at this event can bid on a particular tree to donate it to a needy family that otherwise would not have a tree. (The recipient families, who will remain anonymous, will be selected by SS Elementary School and Fulford Elementary School, 5 families each). In return for their high bid, the winner will get a tax receipt from the Greenwoods Eldercare Society for the full bid value plus receive a specialized thank you prize (one of the gift certificates from the participating business). The auction will be run by Greenwoods Eldercare Society. Auctioneer will be Robert Steinbach.

Tickets have been sold in the community at the Saturday Market, at Country Grocer and at Island Savings. However, if you have not yet purchased your tickets, you have the opportunity to do so online.
Simply go to our website - www.greenwoodsfoundation.ca — and select the "Bench Raffle" button on the left side of the page.
Scroll down to where it says “Buy Now”.
Select the number of tickets you would like to purchase — 1 for $10 or 3 for $25.

In these difficult times, Greenwoods relies on community support to continually improve conditions for our residents. You can make such a difference to them and get the chance to win a beautiful, hand-crafted addition to your own home. It is a very good cause.

Thank you in advance for your support, and Good Luck to you.

Sincerely

Wayne Glover

Please let us know if you are interested in volunteering. Currently there is a high need for volunteers to support the Greenwoods Foundations’ Bench Raffle. As in previous years, local craftsman Luke Hart-Weller has created a one-of-a-kind garden bench which is truly a piece of art. Volunteers are needed to assist with community ticket sales.

Special thanks to Country Grocer for their sponsorship of the bench.
