On October 24th, 2019 the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, Bluewater Local hosted their 19th annual Silent Auction Fundraiser in support of local Women’s Shelters. Hosted by the Local’s Status of Women Committee, the event included raffle draws, a silent auction and a live purse auction. Raffle prizes were graciously donated by local businesses in the Grey-Bruce area. The baskets available in the silent auction were created and donated by the staff at elementary schools within the Bluewater District School Board. The basket themes were creative and fun. At the end of the evening the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, Bluewater Local donated $3205.00 to The Women’s Centre and another $3205.00 to Women’s House serving Bruce and Grey.
