As Julian Smith continues his pursuit of excellence and his dreams to race for Canada, we are once again holding our annual fundraiser to help Julian with his training and race expenses.
The Communiski Dinner is on Thurs. Aug. 17th, at 5:00 pm at Gleason Brook Pottery, 070527 Zion Church Road, Georgian Bluffs. We will offer the following options: meat, vegetarian and gluten free. There will be a variety of salads, desserts and beverages to choose from.
New this year, we will have two sizes of cups available to purchase ($10 and $15) to enjoy your drinks at the event. As well, pottery will be on sale for 20% off, with all proceeds going to the ski fund.
Only 100 tickets are for sale and this event sells out each year.
Tickets are $50/person, $5/children under 13. If you would like tickets, or cannot attend but would like to contribute to the ski fund, please contact Heidi at smith.tones@gmail.com
