Another Successful Year for the Diplomatic Spouses Association (DSA) Christmas Bazaar!
This popular event, which is now in its 13th year, was held in December, 2010 at the Prague Hilton hotel and welcomed over 8 thousand visitors. The 2010 bazaar raised a grand total of just over 3 million Czech Crowns! The funds go directly to applicants from among 18 different Czech charitable organizations, chosen by DSA representatives who conduct visits to ensure funds are used appropriately. The money raised helps care for children, women, and the elderly as well those who are physically and mentally challenged.
The DIPLOMATIC SPOUSES ASSOCIATION PRAGUE (DSA) organizes the Bazaar with over 50 countries participating. Each country has a representative table and fundraising is done by selling products typical to the region including food, wine, arts and crafts and Bazaar tickets.  Our Canadian table had great success in selling Maple Syrup, Sockeye Salmon, Ice wine, Native prints and of course Hockey paraphernalia to name a few. It is also a medium to promote "CANADA" in a country that is very pro Canadian.
Everybody on the volunteer committee worked extremely hard behind the scenes in order for the Canadian table to be the huge hit that is was! It was a fantastic year for the Canadians and we should be proud of our results. After tallying ticket sales, sponsor donations, silent auction proceeds and table sales the Canadian table team contributed 102,166,-CZK!!!!
Many, many thanks to all our sponsors/donors, tireless volunteers, Canadian Residence and Embassy employees and to our special friends in Canada.
Every year we are looking for sponsors, and especially donors who would be willing to donate products at cost or for free or even services which we could sell at our Canadian table. It is a chance to promote your products, Canada and to aid various charities who help many less fortunate persons. Should you want to make a difference or wish more information please contact marie@manzac.org.
