Pink ladies kick-off Christmas with bazaar

(CNS): The Pink Ladies Annual Christmas Tea and Bazaar is scheduled for Saturday 29 November 2-5pm at ARC Camana Bay. The annual fundraiser is the main event for the charity which operates a Coffee Shop at George Town Hospital.  The funds raised by the Pink Ladies are also donated back into the Community, via the NCVO and the Pines Retirement Home in addition to other community projects and charities. This year’s afternoon bash will feature the craft stall, the Country Kitchen, the White Elephant, home grown plants, a book sale, Christmas ornaments and holiday entertainment as well as afternoon tea.

Tickets are currently on sale from individual Pink Ladies or at the Pink Ladies Coffee Shop at George Town Hospital and the $5 entry fee includes tea featuring a vast array of homemade sandwiches, cakes, tea-breads and cookies served with tea or fruit punch.

The craft group ladies work throughout the year and their stall will be “heaving with a wide range of beautiful handmade crafts including Christmas gifts and decorations, quilts and linens, bags, dolls and decorated shells, boxes and other items” while the Country Kitchen will be selling a variety of home produced jams and preserves, cakes and cookies all prepared by the industrious Pink Ladies.

The White Elephant offers bargains and interesting items with a raffle and silent auction for prizes donated by generous local businesses.

Gardeners can stock up on locally grown plants and with the Garden Club’s stall and this year the Humane Society will also be holding a book sale and Cayman HospiceCare will be selling some Christmas 2015 calendars to support their causes.

There will be a variety of traditional holiday entertainment on stage during the afternoon provided by Cayman National Choir and others. Children will be well entertained with face and nail painting and Christmas crafts and activities and will have the opportunity to visit Santa’s Grotto to put in in their Christmas wish and help families in need through Cayman’s ARK “Giving is Receiving” programme.
