Land Ahoy! Save the Date.

   
 Pirates and Scallywags alike, we are looking forward to spending some mighty fine time on the high seas with you. Saturday, April 26th at the Drayton Arena is the place to be. Hard to believe that this will be our 6th Annual Zeal for Teal Celebration. What a faithful crew we have. It's good to see our mates return year after year and it's equally exciting to receive new folk into our clan. 
     For those who are already registered, don't forget the fun we had last year with the Fashion Show. We are doing it again, so dig out those duds and be a mighty fine pirate! Of course you don't have to don bangle earrings and pirate pantaloons - maybe a hint of teal? We just want you to join us for another wonderful day of remembering and celebrating. It is always a bittersweet time because we celebrate and rejoice for the survivors and for the advancements that have been made in ovarian cancer research, but our hearts are also saddened for the gals who have lost their battle. 

     This year we are extremely thrilled, honoured and excited to have some special guests grace us with their presence. Three - maybe four gals - will be coming all the way from Barrie to join us. These great gals are all part of the Barrie Walk of Hope Committee and they are passionate about sharing their stories and how ovarian cancer has impacted their lives. You don't want to miss that. We are hoping our Barrie friends will be able to spend a good portion of the day with us, too! 

     Not only will we have some wonderful prizes, silent auction items and penny table surprises, we are also going to see how you fare with Captain Hook onstage. We heard you like a challenge! Curious yet? 

     Our Early Bird deadline for registration is just around the corner. You have until the stroke of midnight on January 31st to sign up and pay up! $40 and then $45 after deadline. Which is still a great deal. $10 goes automatically to the Sunflower Seeds Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope fund and then all profits from the rest of the day go there too! Last year we raised close to $5000.000. We'd love to meet or exceed that this year. So come on out and bring a few extra coppers to spend at our Seaside Market. You won't be disappointed. 

    Save the date and bring a friend. We also help the local food bank by encouraging participants to bring along a food [or monetary] donation to the cause. Life is good and when we can help out in so many wonderful ways, it is doubly rewarding. We hope you are able to join us for our great Swashbuckling day. 

   If you have any questions, let us know. We want to make this a fantastic day for you. A little pampering and a lot of spoiling can be a good thing once in a while. 

   Stay tuned for more updates and information.
