2010 Christmas Tea

Our 2010 Christmas Tea was held on November 17, a rainy day that made being together in the Tyne Valley Fire Hall that much nicer!  Thanks to those who came to the tea and purchased raffle tickets, baked goods and crafts, we raised over $2,300 for Stewart Memorial Hospital.

This was our first Auxiliary event in the renovated fire hall and it went very well.  There were many positive comments about the updated facilities, especially from those working in the kitchen: we all love the new dishwasher!

And a big thank you to our members for their hard work preparing food, crafts and working at the tea, and to community members who volunteered their time to prepare and serve food.

Special thanks to local decorating expert Shelly Campbell who donated her time and materials to transform the fire hall with her gorgeous Christmas-themed decorations.

We are all so lucky to live in such a generous and caring community.  Congratulations, everyone, on a job well done!
