Valentine Luncheon

2015

I am sharing a Valentine Luncheon
at St. Anne's Anglican Church in

 Richmond, Quebec. 

A annual fundraiser to help this church in need.
A lot of hard work, time and effort goes into 
these fundraising events.
Because of a dwindling congregation
and an aging population,
this Church is struggling to stay open.

I helped decorate and set up the tables.

A Sales Table, nicely set up
Marge Lancaster and Loretta Irwin 
Dedicated Volunteers

Lots of Green Items for Sale
St. Patrick Day is the 17th of March
A lot of Irish settlers here, in the Townships

Jewelry, red vases  and other things

Glassware, Crystal and Silverware
A lover of vintage glassware, (this was up my alley).
I bought the yellow vase and 
other items that are no longer on the table.
My sister Ann who collects blue glass
 bought the vases on the right with silver bases.
Prices all under $5.00.

More Glassware, vintage vases, watches and linens

Lots of Homemade Baked Goods

Lots of goodies

The Church is not used in the Winter months because of the huge heating costs.

Part of the congregation,  approx 25 hold a service each Sunday
in the "Common Room"

Built in 1884-85 and consecrated

May 1900 by Lord Bishop A.H. Dunn.

Update 2024:

Sadly this church has closed due to 

a dwindling congregation and lack 

of funds for upkeep and repairs.
