Now is the perfect time to pre-order your plants for May gardening projects. No fuss, no muss – plants, baskets, and flats are available at wholesale prices for pick up on May 4! This leaves your hands free (and clean) for more shopping on Saturday, May 9 at the Spring Fair – genius!

Download the garden order form: http://www.smus.bc.ca/files/sforder.pdf

The completed form can be returned to Junior, Middle or Senior School receptionists by Friday, April 17. Take a moment to prepare your order for these lovely garden items at great prices!

The countdown is on…only 55 days until SMUS Spring Fair and your Silent Auction Committee needs your help!

We are always looking for volunteers to help us out, but if you can’t donate your time, perhaps you would consider donating an item for the Silent Auction.

Maybe you own a business and would consider donating your services OR you know a business owner who would! Maybe you have tickets to sporting or cultural events.  A night or two at your vacation property (a week would be fabulous!) or perhaps a gift certificate.

If you are able to help us out, please contact Marianne Bianco at 250-477-2526, email mkbianco@shaw.ca, or Liz Butterfield at 250-479-7088, email butterfields@shaw.ca.

Thank you very much for your consideration and as always your continued unending support!
