December was an action-packed month for the SWANS! Following proceedings at November’s meeting, President Lindsay deMalmanche delivered a cheque for $1000 to the Tobermory Meeting Place in support of their ongoing community-based activities. On Dec.6, under the guidance if Convenor, Mary-Anne DeVries, the SWANS held our Annual Christmas Bazaar at the Friendship Club featuring traditional baking, festive greenery arrangements, hot beverages and a light lunch for purchase.
The SWANS thank our supporters who helped in making 2025 another great year of fundraising!
For the week of Dec 8, the SWANS supported BPDS’s Festive Feast by cooking turkeys, peeling 155 lbs of potatoes and assisting with other preparations. We wish BPDS students, staff and volunteers a wonderful festive lunch celebration!
