108 Mile Ranch Volunteer Fire Department (108MRVFD) members had a successful garage sale on June 6.
The bake sale was well received and the 108 Lions served breakfast. The event brought in $700 to help the fire department’s operation.
The winners of the raffle were Junior Firefighter, Max (last name unavailable), 108 Mile Ranch; Warm Heat, Dave Nendick, 100 Mile House; and Smokin Hot, John Maxwell, Green Lake.
Organizers did a great job of putting the garage sale together.

Thank you Jack for your great service to the community and we wish you a happy retirement.
Lions club news
The 108 Mile Lions Club had a successful year and the Lions would like to thank all the residents who supported the bingo nights that were held at the 108 Mile Community Hall during the 2014-15 season. The proceeds from the bingo events enabled the Lions to donate $1,500 to the Mile 108 Elementary School.
Because of the donation, the school was able to provide two $500 bursaries, as well as responding to local requests for donations.
The Lions Club decided to apply for another bingo licence for the coming year because of the past season’s support.
Hopefully, the bingo nights will begin during the month of September. Dates will be advertised as soon as they are confirmed.
