A Perfect Gift for Mother's Day - May 12
Mother's Day Price $89 - Regular Price $129  Since we introduced Kameleon jewellery to our store last August, it's been a hit with women of all ages. Kameleon originates from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and includes beautiful sterling silver pendants, rings, earrings, bracelets, bangles and broaches. What makes this jewellery so incredibly appealing is that in the center of each piece, an interchangeable "Jewel Pop" can easily be inserted. With hundreds of Jewel Pops to choose from, there's always a perfect pop-in piece for every style, mood, outfit or occasion. www.kameleonjewellery.ca While stock remains, we're offering special pricing on our 2013 Mother's Day gift sets. Packaged in a custom gift box, this beautiful set includes a never before released sterling silver heart pendant and chain, a limited edition Jewel Pop, an African Violet Jewel Pop and a collector's compact. (This also makes a wonderful graduation, birthday, anniversary or bridesmaid present.) Also be sure to check out our many new jewellery pieces and Jewel Pops for spring. |

Join our Friday After Work Fundraiser
In support of the Mark Preece Family House
Last September our Take A Hike family learned first hand of the valuable services offered by the Mark Preece Family (MPFH). Since then we've also learned that a number of our neighbours, friends and customers have as well.
The MPFH is a compassionate, affordable "home away from home" for families of critical care patients being treated at Hamilton hospitals.
Since the MPFH opened with fourteen rooms two years ago, over 1,000 families have stayed there; including more than 300 families from the Thunder Bay area. Unfortunately the demand for rooms is so great that many families are turned away. So with no government funds supporting it, a fundraising drive to build ten additional rooms is underway.
Knowing the difference the MPFH makes for "our families" during stressful times, we've partnered with the very lively 5-Man Acoustical Band for a special Pass-the-Hat fundraising event in support of the MPFH expansion project.
This all ages event takes place Friday, May 10th from 5:30 to 8:30 pm at the Prince Arthur Hotel (Dawson Room). So please gather up your family, friends and co-workers and join us for an evening of great music, refreshments and food.
For $15,000 a room at the MPFH will be named "The Thunder Bay Room". An additional $13,000 will furnish it. Charitable tax receipts will be issued for donations over $20. You can also drop off donations at the store. www.markpreecehouse.ca
