National Awareness Week was November 9 to 14. We held our AGM on Monday 9th at the town hall. Friday evening saw the third annual Chicken Shoot Competition between the town and RM councils. This years grudge match saw them go head to head in a curling match. After a round of pregame talk, they took their skills onto centre ice. Several takeouts and draws later, the town pulled away to an 8 - 3 final score. The RM again will have the Chicken Shoot trophy for a year but this time it will grace their new building. The results are some good recognition for the foundation and some new donations.
Saturday afternoon, we hosted our Sausage BBQ at the Co-op. This allowed us to tell the public about our programs and benefits to local organizations.
This year our Awareness Week was held from November 10 to November 15, so that it again coincided with National Philanthropy Day. Three events were planned for this week to raise the public awareness of the foundation and its work. A BBQ at the Beausejour Consumers’ Coop, the Town vs RM Chicken Shoot at the Legion, and pancake breakfast at Zion Luther Church help get the word out. The highlight had to be the second annual Chicken Shoot which brought a good crowd out for supper at the legion Friday night. The RM had vowed revenge over last year’s stunning defeat behind Hockey Dubray. However the end of the evening saw the RM taking home our famous Rubber Chicken Trophy to be displayed in their office for the year. 
We see the week as a success at raising our profile in the community and raising some funds also. Proceeds for the week are:
Co-op BBQ $143.02
Legion Chicken Shoot $276.00
Zion Pancake Breakfast $223.00
The employees at the Provincial Government Building held their annual All Charities Event again this year, with the proceeds flowing to our foundation. This saw a donation of $953.75. Thank you to these community minded citizens for their support of our community over the years and our foundation this year.
We also saw private donation come in during this week, totaling $375.
Our second Awareness Week was a success and we will see you again next year.

During the week of November 12 to 17, we held a series of events to raise the awareness of the foundation in our community. This was held to coincide with National Philanthropy Day.
Monday, November 12 we held a pancake breakfast at Zion Lutheran Church. We owe a large thank you to Irene Schwark for her guidance and leadership.
Wednesday, we had a BBQ Sausage and Drink day at Beausejour Co-op Store. This was a big success for us and we extend a big thank you to the staff of the Co-op.
Thursday, the Beauhead Seniors held a Whist Tournament with the proceeds coming to the Foundation. Once again we send a thank you.
The Chicken Shoot on Friday was our most successful event. The Legion partnered with us and where a big reason for the success. Their Baron of Beef supper brought a large crowd for our Chicken Shoot Challenge between the town and municipal councils. After a wonderful supper, the Chicken Shoot (variation on darts) was held. Once the smoke and feathers had settled, it was determined that the RM was a little wide on their shooting. Behind dead-eye Dubray the Town was the victor. The RM vowed to return next year and get their revenge.
Saturday was our windup. With George the Magician to entertain young and not so young, Square Dancers whirling all around the floor, Dream Catchers singing up a storm, it was a fun afternoon for all.
Financial Summary:
Pancake Breakfast profit $115.00
Co-op BBQ profit $264.00
Whist Tournament profit $70.00
Chicken Shoot profit $114.75
Saturday Finale: loss $522.90
other costs: $67.00
Result is a net income of $2.21 for the week. But the real bottom line is $6775 in donations to the foundation and a much greater awareness in the community. We have declared our first Fun and Facts Weeks a success.
George the Magician entertained a crown of young and not so young.
