In addition to this, Women's House is bringing a new and exciting draw to International Women's Day. This year will be the first year for a Jewellery/Chocolate draw. Anasta- sia's chocolates will be purchased as entry into the draw and the winner will go home with a white gold Amethyst and Diamond necklace sponsored by Wendt's Jewellery in Mildmay. "Purple is the colour for Interna- tional Women's Day so it's very exciting and fitting to bring such a beautiful item to our event, and I look forward to seeing who opens the win- ning chocolate," said Love. This year we will have a silent auc- tion, which will replace the Penny Sale of years past. Also, a visual and emotionally moving display by Jenny Iserman will be on hand. Iserman has been hard at work completing her series of six quilts on the theme of Violence Against Women and is passionate about cre- ating awareness and education of others through her skilful art. This event is a celebration, and is also one of the major fundraisers for Women's House. The purchase of a ticket is not only going to provide you with an after- noon filled with great food and entertainment, but also the chance to support a worthy cause in our com- munity, Love said. Women's House has had some dif- ficulty meeting fundraising targets this fiscal year and would appreciate the community support with this major fundraiser. Tickets are available at United Way in Owen Sound, Lakeshore Recrea- tion and Ralph's Hi -Way Shoppette in Port Elgin, Gordon's Pharmasave in Kincar- dine or by calling Tiffany at Women's House at 519-396-9814 ext.225.
