Winter Ceili Update from EBIDS

Winter Ceili 2015 (photo by Cheryl)

Mark your calendars! The Eire Born Winter Ceili will be on SATURDAY FEBRUARY 6th from 6:00 - 11:00p.m. at the Firefighter’s Hall, 6515 Bonsor Avenue, next  to Metrotown.

Tickets will be on sale in January. This is a great chance for family and friends to see your child dance and to preview all the dance levels. This fundraiser supports all NPIDA dancers and coaches. 

As the Winter Ceili is coming up soon, we are looking once again for your generosity to help us put together raffle baskets. If you have any items or see any great Boxing Day sales for things that we could put together into themed baskets, please bring them to the studio in January. Some ideas are Mom and Dad themed baskets like wine, beer, restaurant gift certificates, Teen baskets like David’s Tea, Bath and Bodyworks, or Kid baskets of candy and games.

Also, if you have any connection to a restaurant or company that would be able to make a donation to our Society, we would be grateful. If they would like to be acknowledged on our site, please contact the Eire Born Board and we would be happy to recognise any corporate donation.

For the very first time, we will have wine extravaganza! We are encouraging all families to donate at least one bottle of wine. We will then make raffle baskets and offer advance ticket sales so that you can sell to your families, neighbours, and friends. Winners will be announced at the Winter Ceili.

Thank you;
EBIDS Board Members
