SuWaDoSh picnic #3
| Early morning rain gave way to sunny skies, and the 3rd annual SuWaDoSh potluck picnic on July 13 was another gourmet and social success. Food donations by Shoppers Drug Mart (buns, condiments), Frito/Lay (chips) and the Cookie Store augmented the potluck delicacies. Approximately 60 attendees enjoyed this event. The Trefann Association raised $215 through the very generous donation of raffle prizes by these neighbourhood businesses and by local residents: Bousada, Capital C, Contech, Dominion on Queen, Gowlings (law firm), KA Jewellry, Kids Inc, Nella Cutlery, Pete’s Open Kitchen, Rivertowne Deli, Savoury Grounds, StreetCar Developments, Sweet Marie Variety, and Shani Mootoo. A big thank-you to picnic organizer Jennifer, and her team of volunteers. |    |
Spring social
There wasn’t a large turnout, but it was a group of friendly (and well-fed) Trefann Court residents who gathered for our spring social on April 11 at our Dominion Hotel hangout. TCRA provided some delicious finger food; Justin and Jennifer brought butter tarts and cake.
Trefann’s next next social event will be the 3rd annual SuWaDoSh picnic on July 13 (raindate: July 20)
SuWaDoSh picnic
Approximately 40 residents from Sumach, Wascana, Douglas Co-op and Shuter (take the first 2 letters of each street name: SuWaDoSh) gathered in Stinky’s Park (Shuter+Sumach) at noon on Sunday July 15 to enjoy a sunny summer day, to chat, and to share some wonderful lunchtime food: bbq hotdogs, hamburgs and ribs, quiche, grilled Indian chicken, veggies, salads, mango, cheesecake, and more. Many neighbours meet frequently in this park during their dog-walking excursions; this pot-luck picnic enabled more leisurely socializing. Local businesses donated items for lunch or for the raffle: thanks to The Dominion on Queen, Gourmet Bun, Pete’s Open Kitchen, River Towne Deli, Savoury Grounds, IRCPA, Shoppers Drug Mart, Kids Inc. and The Cookie Store. (Additional raffle items were provided by the residents.)
Justin did an exquisite job manning the grill. And a big thanks to Jennifer Kent, who made this event happen: she pursuaded businesses to donate items, co-ordinated choice of potluck foods, and distributed flyers to remind everyone of this event. This 2nd annual SuWaDoSh was even bigger and more successful than last year; let’s do it again next year!
