Nelson & District Women’s Centre celebrates International Women's Day, hosts silent auction
By Contributor
As part of the celebration on International Women’s Day, Tuesday, March 8th, the Nelson & District Women’s Centre is are excited to launch an on-line silent auction to raise funds for programs and operations at the centre.
Located just above Central School at 420 Mill Street, the Nelson & District Women’s Centre hosted a gathering with coffee, chai tea and home-baked goodies, as we enjoy some sunshine and good company.
Tuesday, March 8, is International Women’s Day and everyone is welcome to attend a gathering at the Nelson & District Women’s Centre.
The Nelson & District Women’s Centre hasn’t been able to hold our usual big fundraisers the past couple years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Items in the auction range from $5 starting bids, to a Kootenay Lake Travel & Play package valued at $940.00. The items are organized in three themes: Break the Bias Baskets, Let’s Hear it for the Girls (items for the younger set), and Indulge & Restore (for all of us!).
There are items from Anne DeGrace novels to Zipline passes, placemats to precious metals, books to bodywork…and so much more.
The auction is open all week, until 8 p.m Saturday, March 12.
Items can be found at: https://www.32auctions.com/nelson-womens-centre.com or by going directly to the website www.nelsonwomenscentre.com.
All the items are displayed with photos and descriptions, and instructions are provided on how to register, bid, pay and pick up items. Local businesses and artists have generously donated more than 100 diverse items so have fun shopping.
Any questions, please call 352-9916 or 352-9949. Staff and volunteers are happy to provide further description on auction items or the auction process.
On behalf of the women and girls we serve, and our larger community, we thank you for your generous support of our silent auction.
