Thanks for all your support!
The 2019 Oktoberfest Warm-up FUNdraising event was a blast!
Thanks to our sponsors, donors, guests, and especially our volunteers for making our 2nd Annual Oktoberfest Warm-up a great success! Thanks also to our Honorary chair Catherine Fife for her words of encouragement.
The food provided by Fat Sparrow and entertainment by the Zigge Zagges was top notch! If you missed it, you need to be there next year!
Here are some photos from this year's event.

2019 Art works pick up!
Unfortunately, our concert scheduled for Nov 15th has been postponed until sometime in 2020.
We had hoped to be able to find a suitable location and date to show the creative accomplishments of our members but no luck!
Partially funded by the Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation (KWCF), this art-therapy project allows survivors to creatively express themselves through various media.
Paper sculptures, acrylic paint images, fused glass and ceramic mugs were all part of this year's accomplishments.
Artwork will be available at the Christmas parties for pick up.
