Fun and Facts Week
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.
