The Oak Bay News celebrates the community with an afternoon tea at Oak Bay United Church on Thursday afternoon.
Your community news staff welcomes our readers and advertisers to spend some time and bring their comments and questions in person during our third annual tea.
“Our afternoon tea is our opportunity to meet and say thank you to our Oak Bay News readers – from those who have been with us for decades to those new to the district and their community newspaper,” said publisher Janet Gairdner.
Guests are treated to a wide array of tasty tea sandwiches and treats prepared by volunteers from the church, beautifully served with the church’s fine silverware and china. Tea is complimentary, but donations are welcome to the Oak Bay Fire Fighters Charitable Foundation.
The foundation funds a variety of projects and community groups from Oak Bay schools to athletics and larger organizations including the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund – a fundraising body for firefighters throughout the province. Visit oakbayfirefighters.com to learn more about that organization.
“We are thrilled to once again partner with Oak Bay United Church, whose staff and volunteers create a fantastic array of treats and tea for everyone,” Gairdner said.
The Oak Bay News hosts the free tea, June 22 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Oak Bay United Church.
