Did March come in like a lamb or a lion? Does this mean we can finally count down days before winter is over or are predictions for a wintery spring accurate? Stay tuned to the mother nature network, available outdoors every day!
Will you watch Telemiracle 41? I was Kin Kid and a long time Kinette. My dad, as an Assiniboia Kinsmen member, was part of the Kinsmen group, headed by Urb Donlevy, who worked towards establishing a unique telethon program in Saskatchewan. They were met with resistance and doubt but they forged on, like any successful people do. There was doubt that this project would live beyond a 5 year run. Can you remember tears streaming down Blake Emmons face as he helped announce $1 million dollars raised that first year. Congratulations to Cherie Wagner, her family, and committee for spearheading the Unite for a Miracle campaign in Unity. We can't wait to see the results of this eight-week-long fundraising initiative. Ring those phones!
