The 27th Annual “Mainly for Women” Trade Show was held on Sat., February 8, 2020.

This year the ‘Mainly for Women’ Trade Show was again another huge success.  There were 57 vendors with 43 returning vendors and 14 new vendors.  The delicious food available was of many choices.  There were also four presentations throughout the day which were well attended.

The members of WOW (Women of Oliver for Women) were there to greet you, offer answers to any questions regarding the society and encourage new members,

selling flowers as a fund raiser, assist the vendors or the public in any way possible, plus offered a chance to possibly win one of three donated prizes at a cost of $2.00.

A big Thank You to all the vendors who participated in our 27th year of the Mainly for Women Trade Show in Oliver.

Thank you to those who donated towards the door prizes and draws – the prizes were all very well presented and appreciated by the show attendants and winners.

Grade 7 students at Tuc el Nuit Elementary received a donation from the Women of Oliver for Women. This funding will assist to make it possible for all the four Oliver schools’ Grade 7 graduates to attend a 3-day, 2-night camp and participate in life skills exercises and a chance to make friends before they all start high school together.

 

 

WOW was able to sponsor a family of six and donate a Christmas Hamper full of presents and food for the Christmas season.

Women of Oliver for Women Society (WOW) is happy to announce that it has donated $1500 to the Oliver Starfish Backpack Program to provide children with a basic need.  Some children go to school hungry for many unfortunate reasons and also may not have sufficient food over the weekend.  This program will provide the student three meals and snacks per day in a backpack to last the weekend.  Hopefully the children will come to school on Monday feeling better prepared to learn and play as children should.

This beneficial program is organized by Sam Marsel, supported by the Town of Oliver, the Rotary Club and Buy-Low Foods.   WOW’s mission statement is “To enrich the lives of women and children in our community and beyond.”
