Silent Auction Fundraiser: Original Barrie Farrell painting
 Volunteer Brenda Scoular has been donated a 20" x 20" original acrylic painting by boatbuilder and artist Barrie Farrell, who lived and worked in the Pender Harbour area for many years and built over 300 boats in his lifetime.
The painting is being auctioned off with proceeds to be donated to Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society and The Rotary Club of Pender Harbour in appreciation for the work done to refurbish Forest View Cemetery (at Warnock Rd. & Francis Peninsula Rd.) over the past 2 years.
Please submit your bid to Brenda Scoular by email brendascoular@gmail.com or phone 604 883 2701 by April 15, 2021. The winning bid will be split equally between the two community organizations. Thank you for organizing, Brenda!
Thanks for renewing your membership for 2021
