The end of the year has arrived and some of our little ones will be moving on to Kindergarten. Join us as we celebrate the year and say goodbye to some of our students. After a walk down the isle in graduation hats, each site performs a song or dance that they have learned in their time with the preschool. Cake and refreshments are served afterwards. Don’t Forget your camera.

The Candora Society says goodbye to summer programming with a fun filled day at the lake. Free transportation and BBQ; just bring your swimsuit and your smile. Relax on the beach and get a tan, or join in on the three legged race or treasure hunt. The day is yours! Trips are usually to Michelon Lake and are a wonderful opportunity to mingle with Candora Staff and other community members. Last one in the lake is a rotten egg!

Candora Christmas Dinner

December 1,2005

Beverly Crest Travelodge

Last year over 900 people enjoyed a free hot turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Many volunteers make this successful evening happen. Various door prizes are distributed and good cheer is spread around. This special evening could not be made possible without the help of our many donors, and especially the Beverly Crest for the use of their space and kitchen. Get your tickets before they are all gone, and be good because Santa always makes an appearance. This year there will be two sittings 4:30 & 6:30PM at the Beverly Crest. Santa will be at the Abbottsfield Recreation Centre 5:00-9:00PM. Tickets will be distributed at the Family Resource Centre November 22, 23, & 24 from 9:00-11:30 & 1:00-3:00 and 6:00-8:00PM @ 248
