Women of Oliver for Women
Women of Oliver for Women is an informal non-profit Society of community minded individuals who believe in giving back to the community by working for the betterment of women and families, providing community service and raising funds for worthwhile causes.
WOW has served Oliver for many years after leaving the Soroptimist affiliation.
On June 13, the Women of Olver (WOW) hosted an evening fundraiser at the Firehall Brewery.
A hamburger (beef, chicken or veggie) and a mug of beer (or choice of drink) were offered along with two hours of great music by the Penticton Thursday Night Jazz Band. This Big Band with 19 pieces has played in Oliver over the years. Firehall Brewery provided the open patio area for the event.
All the profits were donated to the Sun Fun Program which involves pool and camp passes to enable all children to attend.
The event was a sellout with a beautiful evening with many laughs, great food and great music.
The Trade Show held on March 16, 2024 was again a huge success with 61 vendors, which included many repeating vendors along with new ones.
Oliver Eats provided lunch, which included choices of soup, salads, sandwiches and desserts.
There were rave reviews and an excellent turn out.
Women of Oliver for Women Society (WOW) hosted the annual Christmas Party Fundraiser at the Oliver Senior Centre. The members invited their friends and neighbours to enjoy some appys and desserts while socializing and bidding to win auction items and packages. The excitement of the auction and the festive “season of giving” helped make this event a continued success. WOW’s fundraising efforts support many worthwile organizations and individuals within our community.
