Food Drive
Deka Lake and District Volunteer Fire Department’s annual Food Drive for Interlakes Christmas Giftboxes raised a handsome $2,070.80, together with multi-pounds of non-perishable foods. All donations were delivered to Interlakes Community Centre (ICC) on Nov. 7. Sincere appreciation goes to the generous residents of all four of our lakes.
If you or someone you know could use a little help this Christmas, call/text details to Joyce McGregor at 250-644-7540 after 3 p.m.
Anyone who wishes to volunteer assistance in baking for, or putting together the giftboxes at ICC during Dec., is asked to call Susan at 778-908-3924.
Wreath-Making
ICC is hosting a Christmas wreath-making class, 1 p.m. to 3.30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 1, with instructor Sue Carlyle of Lake Thyme Floral. The fee of $55 must be prepaid with reservation, either at the hall or by e-transfer to interlakescommunity@outlook.com
New Crafty Time
Inspired by Annie Judson, “Craft Time for Crafty People of all Kinds” is a new opportunity at ICC every other Tuesday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., starting Nov. 15. The next one is Nov. 29, and possibly Dec. 13. ICC members pay $2 per drop-in, and non-members pay $3. Bring your own supplies and enjoy crafting in the company of friends, with plenty of room to have your own table. You may want to bring a light and an extension cord. Coffee makers/kettles are available. Drop in any time!
Questions may be directed to Annie via Facebook private message.
