On Saturday, April 11, WOW members attended the banner presentation for the Oliver Ambassador Program. Diane Worth, Society President, presented our sponsored candidate, Madison Wornardt with her banner. Several members of WOW were there to support her, including 5 members who attended the Gala that followed.

We wish Madison success in role as candidate.

On Saturday , we honoured Sally Franks, Past President, for her many years as the Convenor for the Trade Show. Our success on Saturday, at the 33rd Annual Trade Show, was possible as a result of all the hard work that Sally and her various committee members have done over the years.

Thank you Sally for your contributions to WOW.

Trade Show day was very busy. We had over 400 visitors who came to support our local vendors and community organizations. It was a day filled with lots of laughter and joy.

Pictured below are the ladies having a well earned break, selling flowers, promoting WOW. Also pictured is Madison Wordardt, our Oliver Ambassador candidate who spent the day helping wherever she was needed. Thanks Madison.

Diane Worth, WOW president, presented a cheque for $500 to Highway to Healing. Accepting is Gina Patterson on the left and Tracey Marcy on the right.

Highway to Healing provides a wonderful service for families needing help with out of town medical appointments. With today's increase in the price of gas, all donations, no matter how large or small will make a difference and allow Highway to Healing to have more funds to help more families.

WOW - what a successful Trade Show yesterday. Over 400 visitors supported 51 vendors at 63 tables. Our thanks to the vendors who rented tables to support WOW and the visitors who left generous donations in support of SOS Medical Foundation & Desert Sun Counselling. Many vendors also contributed door prizes which were much appreciated by the winners.

Watch this space for more information and pictures from our event. Looking forward to seeing everyone next spring at the 34th Annual WOW Trade Show.
