CWAV Society continues to raise money for second-stage housing for women, with and without children.
According to the hardworking group, “these vulnerable families need supportive housing while they settle their affairs. Attending our event and bidding on silent and live auction items is a fun way to contribute to affordable housing in the Cowichan Valley.”
Festivities start at 6 p.m. for cocktails (cash bar), the opening of the silent auction and the purchase of tickets for several draws. Dinner is at 7 p.m., the live auction at 8 p.m. and music and dancing to Hey! Mr DJ from 9-11 p.m. The silent auction closes at 9:30 p.m. Draws are made between 10 and 10:30 p.m.
