This year the Cowichan Seniors Community Foundation is hosting its first annual “G’n’Tea” fundraising gala event, on June 2 from 4-7 p.m. at the Chemainus Theatre Festival’s Playbill Dining Room.

The foundation, is a non-profit organization devoted to advocating for, and delivering seniors’ programs and services in the Cowichan region.

You will also receive a complimentary cocktail of your choice and a chance to win one of four door-prizes donated by Maple Bay Marina, Miles Outlook for Men, Resthouse and Cardino Shoes.

Chef Nick will be offering cold appies along with a hot appie bar, a “make your own slider” bar, a sushi bar and a dessert bar.

“We are very proud to be offering this very elegant event to be held in the Valley’s finest venue,” said Marsha Todd, the foundation’s chair of fundraising. “As our first, annual ‘G’n’Tea’ we think this is a great opportunity for the foundation to raise awareness of the work we do in the community. It also gives people a chance to support the Cowichan Seniors Community Foundation in a fun and spirited way.”
