Join us at Winks on Saturday May 4, 2013, from 1-3pm as all 10 authors of Mennonite Girls Can Cook launch their second book, Celebrations. We are anticipating this book to be another Canadian Best Seller, just as their first book was!

Winks has had the privilege of donating 100% of her proceeds from the book sales to projects in Romania. Winks and her husband Dave have been helping orphans in Romania for over 23 years.  Thank you to each of you that purchase the new book at Winks. You will be helping us help others, too.

In all the excitement of this new book coming Winks has decided to offer a book preorder special! For each book you preorder you will be entered into a draw to win a second copy signed by all the authors, which you can either keep for yourself or gift to someone you love!  Also with all pre-orders you will be guaranteed that your books will be signed.

Stop by Winks, call or email to order your book today!

We are looking forward to participating in the Chilliwack Christmas Craft Crawl again this year! It is the 10th annual event this year – very exciting! If you’ve not attended the crawl before, make sure you put it on your calendar for 2012 as it will be the best year yet.

This year’s participating locations are:

• Greendale Pottery and Country Guest House
• Rustic Soap Co.
• Chilliwack River Valley Natural Honey 
• Hamels Fabrics
• Little Beetle Bistro featuring special guests Kimberley Francis and Carla Swope
