This is a special photo. On the evening of Dec. 18th, Kenny Rittaler of the Sooke River Hotel gave out funds to charities such as ourselves, proceeds from the weekly meat draws that are held at the Sooke River Hotel and from the Annual Charity Auction. As the Sooke District Lioness continue to assist the residents of Sooke and area, but want to thank Kenny and Don Rittaler and their staff for helping us do our work.

Lionesses Barb Y, Ellen M, Sue W, Heather N and Gail N volunteered with the Sooke Christmas Bureau in front of the Village Food Market and Western Foods.

 

Lionesses Gail N and Barb Y marched in the Sooke Legion Branch #54 Remembrance Day Parade with the Sooke Lions Club.

Sooke District Lioness again served the luncheon prepared by the Legion after the Remembrance Service-chowder, chili, sandwiches, and of course a delicious cake donated for the occasion by Western Foods in Sooke.

The Torch Relay began its journey in Sooke at 7 a.m. on Oct. 31st at the Sooke Firehall (after the initial relay and party in Victoria evening before) and finished with a blessing ceremony at the T'Sou-ke Nation before continuing on to Metchosin. Following the relay, the community was treated to a breakfast at the Edward Milne Community School. As with the Relay, the breakfast was organized by the Sooke Spirit of BC Community Committee.

Sooke District Lioness were among the volunteers in the kitchen at Edward Milne. Along with students, we heated and packed 100's of cheese bagels and pizza pretzels. Outside, the decorated vehicles passed in the morning darkness.

A new job for us this year - Lioness Sue W blowing up the happy face yellow balloons that were snapped up as fast as we could get them tied!

 

We gave up counting how many balloons we made. We are working in the covered craft area where we can listen to the great music from the outside stage nearby.
