Mahood Lake Corridor residents surely came through for Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department’s (VFD) annual Food Drive on Nov. 4. Some 1,000 lbs of food was donated, and cash received totalled $1,344.25 including $300 from their Ladies Auxiliary (LA.) Thanks to the firefighters for their efforts.
All proceeds are for Interlakes Christmas Boxes which will be delivered Dec. 22. If you need help this Christmas, call Donna Jarvis at 250-593-4541.
Ladies Auxiliary
The LA’s Nov. 7 meeting welcomed new members Dorothy Telford and Shelley Thierault.
The ladies passed a motion to donate $5,000 to purchase 24 picnic tables for the Firehall grounds.
Another motion agreed to donate this year’s proceeds of $500 from the LA’ members’ upcoming Christmas party to Fischer Place, and the LA will match that amount and donate it towards South Cariboo Health Foundation’s Wellness Nordic Relax chair.
Congratulations
Belated birthday wishes go to Andree Paddison and Jim Watson and to Jessica Loft for her Sweet 16th. Happy birthday also to Ruth Marx, Celia Visscher, Sibylle Vogel and John Frame.
