The 70 Mile House and Area Community Funds Society held a meeting at the Seventy Mile Access Centre (SMAC) on Nov. 2 to go over the newly formed society, which is registered with the Kamloops Foundation.
The purpose of the society is to provide support and incentives for individuals to enhance their community by furthering their education.
The catchment area includes North Bonaparte Road to Pressy Lake, 70 Mile House, Green Lake and Watch Lake residents.
The fund was formed because people wanted a legacy for the 70 Mile House School, which later became SMAC.
Anyone can contribute to this worthwhile cause and the society executive hopes donations will become tax deductible in the months to come.
Society executive members are as follows: president Gail Mosley; treasurer Robin Rusaw; secretary Sue Wheeler; and directors Dennis Tupman and Vic Popiel. Call Dennis at 250-456-2302 for more information about the society.
