Shred-A-Thon

Mission's Vancity location hosted their 3rd annual Shred-A-Thon on September 11th, 2010. Gwen Atkinson, Grace Saris and the dedicated staff worked hard to promote this event. The parking lot was transformed into a carbon neutral paper trail to success thanks to the kind contribution from URBAN IMPACT RECYCLING. The shredding and recycling efforts raised $1068.99, exceeding last year's numbers. We would like to send a BIG thank you to Gwen and all the Vancity staff for their continued support.

Mediterranean Summer in the Courtyard

July 10, 2010

Fronya fashion models, belly dancers, an inspiring female musician, superb volunteers and charming guests made up this first Mediterranean Summer in the Courtyard event.

On Saturday July 10th the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley hosted its 4th fashion show. This year’s show had a Mediterranean theme and we took it outdoors.

The evening was held in the private courtyard where Fronya Thrift Boutique store is located. The event brought in exuberant talents with shimmying hips, ringing zils and balancing swords. These undulating dance troupes dazzled the crowd in the summer evening heat. Singer/ songwriter Delaney Rose took time from her busy schedule to inspire us with her songs of hope and love.

Thank you to all of the guests, volunteers, and many donors including Tammy at Magnolia’s On Main, Mr. Mikes Steakhouse & Bar, Casa Del Sol Tanning Salon, Sue’s Copy Place, Silver City Movie Theatre, Cedar Ridge Golf Course, Shoppers Drug Mart, Domain De Chaberton Winery, Oasis Rejuvenation Center & Retreat, Lorna’s Café, Uncommon Threadz, The Compass Rose, Tina Popoffs’ Jewelry, Fraser Valley Roller Derby, John Agnew at Heritage Park Secondary, Grab A Java, Laurie Strickers’ Mehndi Tattoo Art, Coby’s Hi Tech Laundry, Sisters Of The Moonlight Dance, Shimmy For The Soul, Delaney Rose and Cyndi McLeod with Sent Out Cards.

Mission's 2nd Annual Christmas Cookie Festival
held on Thursday, November 26, 2009
was a great success!

Fronya's Thrift Boutique is once again participating in Mission's Annual Christmas Cookie Festival. The cookie tour began at Murdoch's Book Shoppe (33078 First Ave) where a map was supplied that guided all to the merchants in downtown Mission who were involved with the event. The presence of the Cookie Monster, Gingerbread Man and Carollers definitely brought a taste of Christmas Cheer to the downtown area.

Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the evening.
