Every year the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 261, Forest Grove, presents various groups and associations with a cash contribution in support of their efforts.
In late 2017, representatives of the following parties attended the Legion to receive a cheque, backing their organization:
- Treasurer Kelly Kelsey – with her daughter Tayler – of the Forest Grove Community and Parent Advisory Council (CPAC) for supporting the Forest Grove Elementary School and student activities.
- Manager Bob Hicks of the 100 Mile House Food Bank.
- Darian Lobsiger, Lynden Walker and Marshall Heit of the 100 Mile House Minor Hockey League.
- Guy Hildebrand, Larry Runnels, Vince Luu, Bill Layton, Cam Jensen and Jean Swann of the South Cariboo Search and Rescue Society (SAR).

Farewell
After 4 years of writing the column announcing and covering events in Forest Grove and surrounding area, health issues force me to suspend my efforts at this point.
Thank You for all your support. Best Wishes - Doris
