COWICHAN, B.C.

The Cowichan Seniors Community Foundation, is a non-profit organisation devoted to advocating for, and delivering seniors’ programs and services in the Cowichan Region.

This year the Foundation is hosting its first annual “G’n’Tea” fund-raising, gala event, on June 2nd  – 4 pm to 7 pm at the Chemainus Theatre Festival’s Playbill Dining Room.

The event features gin tasting of the handcrafted spirits by local StillHead Distillery and tea tasting presented by the Cowichan Valley’s only tea farm, Westholme Tea Company. 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 fabulous desert bar.

Marsha Todd, The Foundation’s Chair of Fundraising, comments “We are very proud to be offering this very elegant event to be held in the Valley’s finest venue.  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!.”
