Friends of Fairvern Raffle Fundraiser
The Friends of Fairvern is the Volunteer Organization that has supported the Home since it opened in 1982. Over the years they have held various fundraising activities that has enabled them to support the Residents.
This year they are holding a Raffle Fundraiser and a large number of Muskoka Community Members, Artisans, and Businesses have generously donated items worth almost $4000.00 for this cause. Tickets are $5 each or 3 for $12. The draw is scheduled to be held at Fairvern on Friday, October 6, 2023 at 2:00 pm. Ticket holders will have an opportunity to win one of 6 prize baskets.
Margaret Dollar has volunteered to be available in the Fairvern Activity Centre to meet with staff, volunteers, and family members at Fairvern on the following dates and times to sell tickets to those who would like some and to provide booklets of tickets to those who would like to help sell our tickets:
Thursday August 10th - 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Friday August 18th - 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Thursday August 24th - 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
For tickets after August 22nd, please call Brenda Greer at 705-789-3829.
The Friends hope everyone associated with Fairvern will support this exciting fundraising initiative so they can meet their goal of selling 3000 tickets.
Speaking of fundraising initiatives, don’t forgot to purchase a homemade pie from the Friends’ Upright Freezer located at the back of the Rose Room. Rumour has it that they are DELICIOUS! Please spread the word to your family & friends.

Food in Resident Rooms
If you are bringing treats or snacks to your loved one to be consumed in their room, we ask that it be stored in a sealed container or baggie. This will assist in ensuring the item stays fresh and will also keep crumbs etc. to a minimum. Thank you for your cooperation.
