The day started off with the ladies of WOW
promoting their group in the
Roots & Fruits Parade held in Oliver on Saturday, August 17, 2018.

 

 

This year WOW once again sponsored the Oliver’s Got Talent Show.

The funds were used for food, refreshments as well as
Thank You gifts for all the performers.

Everyone enjoyed the different talents of the many entries.

 

 

With assistance received from Oliver Community Arts Council, WOW was able to put on a High Tea at the Community Centre on Saturday afternoon.    To add to the ambiance of the Tea, a hat contest, with prizes, was held.   Many hats were created, with the assistance of a couple members of WOW.  More contestants arrived and enjoyed some tea, sandwiches and dessert, while hats were being judged for beauty, uniqueness and overall creativity.

The 4th annual presentation tea was held on March 31, 2019 to celebrate the gifting to individuals and organizations from the fundraising efforts of the Women of Oliver for Women (WOW) group.  This year recipients were honoured with WOW’s version of the WOW Family Feud.  Teams were required to compete by answering questions like WOW’s Mission, who they support in the community, what community services have been done, what type of fundraisers and many other questions pertaining to the WOW group.  Fun was had by guests, recipients and members.  Winners of course were acknowledged.
