The annual meeting of the Cut Knife and District Donor’s Choice was held at the RM of Cut Knife RM March 10.
The 2016 campaign grossed $12,545. There were 73 contributors and the average donation was $171.85, which is an increase from last year’s average donation of 157.53. It is interesting to note there were six generous donations of between $500 and $2,000. The people of this community are to be commended for their generosity.
The organization is appreciative of every donation made to 20 charities. Most of these charities have conveyed their gratitude for this support. Each contributor can be proud of the difference their donation makes in the lives of many others in our province and country.
Donor’s Choice also appreciates the support of local businesses. Committee member Jean Lawes received, receipted and deposited each donation.
Elected to office for the 2017 October campaign were: chair Lorie Gibson, vice-chair Cathy Bullock, treasurer Don McCallum and secretary Cheryl Rowswell.
