If you want to get our beautiful mittens to offer them as a gift or for yourself, there will be a sale on December 13 at the Sunlife Building, 1155 Metcalfe St. from 10 am to 17 pm.
Last Sunday was our Holiday Fair; we want to thank everyone who supported Chez Doris as well as our clientele. After sales, donations, and payments made to the women for their artisanal works, we netted close to $5,000. We hope that those who attended found beautiful gifts to offer! We also want to congratulate the following raffle winners: Mélisse Simard, Liliana Gutiérrez, Carole Croteau, Margaret Nicolai and Joelle Michaud. Congratulations! �
Great article on The Montreal Gazette today about in-kind donations and this is a shout-out to the Montreal Shoebox project for the huge donation of shoeboxes filled with gifts. The distribution will take place on December 12.

Contributing to your local food bank is not the time to get rid of the smoked oysters languishing at the back of your pantry.Many thanks to Bentall Kennedy, the building managers of the Sunlife Building at 1155 Metcalfe. They donated this 2 ft by 3ft by 3ft cake in the image of the Sunlife Building on the occasion of the Building’s 100th anniversary. Yum yum we are having it tomorrow for lunch! We’ll have plenty for everyone!!!!
