The ladies auxiliary at Pleasant Manor is holding its annual spring bazaar and bake sale on Saturday, March 23.

The event at the Virgil long-term care home will feature baked goods in the Oakview Chapel, plus a new dollar sale and tea room in the Arbourview dining room.

The sale runs from 10 till 11:30 a.m.

People should bring their own bags to the cash-only event, sale chairperson Anne Litke said.

Proceeds of the sale support any special needs that the home’s managers might have, she said.

In the past, the auxiliary has helped purchase Montessori programs for residents with dementia, supplies for social activities including tables, updated TVs in the gathering rooms as well as a sound system and a new electric keyboard, furniture for sitting areas and dining rooms, Litke said.

“And lots of plants for all the gardens.  Right now we’re updating the bowling alley with some new features and perhaps fixing a gazebo.”
