Thank you to the Bahai’s of the Comox Valley for your donation of items for women and children to mark the celebration of Ayyam-i-Ha. During the festival of Ayyam-i-Ha, many Bahai's exchange small gifts, as well as support charity. Here is a quote shared by Monica from the Bahai's of Comox Valley (seen in the photo) from Bahaullah the founder of the Bahai faith, "It behooveth the people of Baha, throughout these days, to provide good cheer for themselves, their kindred and, beyond them, the poor and needy..."

January 50/50 winner. Stay tuned for the February winner. Congratulations Lisa!

Take note folks
