BOOK EVENT CAFÉ

The Cafe in the Garden Room, offers a place to refresh with goodies and a beverage and to visit with others or take a look at the books you want to purchase!

The Cafe needs baking to serve and needs your help!  Eating always brings joys and friendships to our events!

Please sign up to bring finger foods like cookies, squares, cupcakes, fruit loaf - the signup sheet is in Centennial Hall, or let Donna Smith know you can help.

Contact: Donna Smith 905 884 6307

 

 

We are grateful for your generous donations of books. Your contributions have created an amazing array for this year's sale.

At this time, we are no longer accepting additional donations.  If you still wish to rehome your books, please take them to the Salvation Army Thrift Store, 11300 Yonge St (just north of Elgin Mills) or keep them to donate next year!

Thank you once again for your generosity and understanding.

Marj, Mary & Tracy
