BURNT RIVER ACTIVITIES GUIDE

November 2012

Saturday November 3^rd

Community Christmas Craft Sale 10 am to 3 pm, sponsored by the

Burnt River United Church UCW at the B.R. Community Centre.  At this event 28 vendors will be showing their crafts, and our hand-made, queen-size Quilt, and an afghan, will be raffled at approx. 2:30 pm.  Tickets will be available that Saturday, before the items

are raffled.  Proceeds go to the Coboconk Elementary School

Breakfast Fund and the Mission and Service Fund of the United Church.

            There is also a lunch being offered for sale by the ladies of the UCW,

and we are commencing selling of our Historic Cook Book we produced

in the 70's, plus new recipes from the second and third generations of the

families, plus  historic pictures we have gathered of the ladies contributing and the church events in general over the past 50 years or so. We hope you will enjoy it. 

At this time we would also like to thank everyone who has contributed 

to our campaign for funds to put a new galvanized steel roof on our  church.

We have almost reached our goal of $7000 and the roofers are finishing up the project.  It is gratifying to know that we won't have a leaky roof this winter, and we greatly appreciate everyone's generosity.
