On June 2, 2019, the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Orillia Annual Homes Tour for Scholarships was another sold-out success.
The tour was attended by about 500 visitors, who also enjoyed the Tea at the Fern Resort. Thank you to all the attendees and to the homeowners who so generously offered their homes for the tour.
This fundraiser began in 1974 and, since that time, has raised over $200,000 in scholarship funds for Orillia students. This year, the total raised was $21,000.
The club thanks the community for support, in particular the following businesses for selling tickets to the public and to the florists for the lovely flowers displayed in the homes and at the Tea: Beauty Supply Outlet (Westridge Mall), Dr. Norin Siddiqi - Dentist, Laclie Guardian Pharmacy (400 Laclie St.), The Kitchen Shop (70 Mississaga St. E.), Mariposa Seasons Shop (109 Mississaga St. E.), Simply Special Originals (3363 Muskoka St., Washago), Street’s Flower Shop (242 Coldwater Rd. W.), Summerfield Electric, Thimbles and Things (1282 Brodie Drive), The UPS Store, and April Flowers and Decor, Evans Flowers, Metro – Floral Department, Scott’s Garden Centre, Street’s Flower Shop, and Zehrs – Market Fresh Florist.
