There goes that thermometer again!!
Hi everyone! I'm back! I've been waiting to share some great news... and now I can!! Recently, a local business, Resto-Pub Alibi, decided that the Canadian Cancer Society, through Doris Dollars, would be the beneficiary of one of their events.
In February, they held a cribbage tournament. I honestly didn't know what cribbage was -- but I sure do now!! During a break in the tournament, they had a "half and half" draw and there was also a raffle for a beautiful set of golf clubs. I was able to visit with everyone during the break and I helped to sell the "half and half" tickets. It was fun to do this because I was able to meet people and tell them bits and pieces about my Grandma and Doris Dollars. Everyone was really kind to me. I was proud to be told that I am doing good work.
Today, I received an exciting phone call. They had a cheque for me to pick up!! I am SO happy to be able to tell you that the amazing people at Resto-Pub Alibi made a donation of $1,000.00 towards my Doris Dollars goal!!
When I picked up their cheque, I presented them with a certificate in recognition of their generosity and support. Then, we went straight to the Canadian Cancer Society office and gave them the good news... AND the cheque, of course!! They sure were pleased!
I would like to thank Brian and Carolyn Finnerty for allowing me to participate in this event and for choosing Doris Dollars to benefit in such a special way. I really appreciate that you feel that my fundraising efforts are worthwhile and that you are giving me such wonderful encouragement, especially within my own community.
I would also like to thank my aunt, Darlene Hunt. Auntie Darlene, you are always right there to help me, encourage me and back me up 200% in everything I do. It was so much fun working beside you, selling tickets for the "half and half" draw. Thank you for accepting my certificate on behalf of Resto-Pub Alibi and for posing for the picture! ;)
And, to everyone who participated in this event, I hope you will consider this a personal thank you... not only from the Canadian Cancer Society... but also from me and my Grandma. She would be so proud!
Love,
Kelsey
