Trips for Kids Fundraising

We are currently fundraising for the Trips for Kids Annapolis Valley Chapter. We are raffling off a beautiful painting done by Angela Melanson. It is 24” x 24” acrylic, pastel and pencil on wood panel valued of $450.

Tickets are $2 each or 3/$5, and can be bought at the Wolfville Recreation Centre or every Wednesday evening at the Wolfville Farmers Market.

In addition to our raffle we are selling blank greeting cards with prints of Angela’s pieces on the cover. These gorgeous cards are $5 each and can be purchased at the Wolfville Recreation Centre as well.

All money raised will go towards keeping the Trips for Kids program going and help with the maintenance costs of the bicycles.

Bike Club Trip to the Links Trails

On Thursday June 23rd the Wolfville Afterschool Bike Club rode the trails at the Links (AKA the Woodville Hiking Trails). We transported our bicycles in the Trips for Kids Trailer and thanks to many generous parents were able to carpool all participants to and from the trails. Everyone had a blast, even when covered in mud!

Look for the afterschool Trips for Kids bike club again this fall. It is scheduled to run every Thursday afternoon at 3:30pm at the Wolfville Recreation Centre.

See you all in September for more biking fun!
