Another super successful Creative Tables took place at the Arcola Prairie Place Hall!
Once again this event was sold out! The hostesses always are the key to the success as they create the most amazing tables – different ideas and make this very special for the guests at their table!
The meal was prepared by Linda Chapman and Eileen Corrigan and there were rave reviews on what was served! Thanks to you and your helpers!
This year we enjoyed entertainment from Justin Labrash of Lumsden, Sask! Justin is the recipient of the Sask. Country Music Association’s 2018 Emerging Artist of the Year – so we were honored to have him perform four or five songs for us!
Natalie Bloomfield of Carlyle was the special guest speaker and what an inspiration she is to everyone! Her strength and determination has helped her during the past few years as she has battled with cancer! Gratitude for what and who she has in her life was her message - and Natalie had the entire room pulling for her and her family.
Christine Legg from Dreams of Regina also spoke with regard to The Shoebox Project and was overwhelmed from the support she received – businesses offering drop off spots – restaurant for a “shoebox” event – donations in excess of $700 – free Christmas wrapping paper from the Hallmark owner in Regina! To find out how you can get involved – please go online and checkout The Shoebox Project!
Kim Craig of Mississauga, Ontario spoke with regards to The Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation which sends the fund from this event to the Look Good Feel Better Program! Kim relayed the importance of helping women across Canada each month who are going through the personal effects of chemo and radiation and how this program makes the women feel like themselves again.
It is a time when they can smile – laugh and not be thinking about their next hospital appointment!
The Arcola Day Care will be receiving a percentage of the funds raised from this event! Their spokesperson explained where the funds are spent – and the importance of a day care where families – single parents can entrust their children with!
Darlene wants to express a huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers for their help! All the businesses and others who donate beautiful items to the silent auction & raffles! The sponsors who generously donate money to this event! The hostesses – you ladies are incredible and I THANK YOU!
And of course a huge thanks to each and every person in attendance – your support is why we do this!
We are booked – and I already have 11 tables booked and paid for!!!
So don’t miss out – call me ASAP to book your table!
See you Thursday, Oct. 17, 2019.
