Mountain Christmas Cancer Clinic Fundraiser
(November 19 - 21, 2010)
The holidays are one of the rare times during the year that we get to send out greetings to loved ones and cherished friends. This year, we will make those greetings and gifts even more special with beautiful handcrafted cards and gift tags. We will take a timeless tradition, the advent calendar, and learn to infuse it with the latest trends. We’ll focus on revitalizing our own spirit through yoga, invigorating our bodies through Nia dance and uplifting our hearts through fundraising for a great cause.
It’s time to refresh and energize your holiday season!
The Entire Weekend, hosted by Hostelling International’s Lake Louise Alpine Centre, includes dorm style accommodation, meals, activities, speakers and supplies needed for only $349.
