“Another
winter has come and gone, unfortunately another one without snow
as well. This lack of snow did not, however, deter
volunteers of the Kittiwake Snowmobile
Association and Scotiabank
(Wesleyville Branch) from organizing another ‘Ride For Health’.
For 2010, in lieu of a snowmobile ride, organizers hosted a
community walk and barbeque. On a beautiful and warm April
Saturday afternoon, organizers hosted a walk from the groomer shed
in Valleyfield to Bonnews Lodge and return, and then fired up the
grill for free hotdogs and pop for everyone. Random prize
were drawn throughout the afternoon, a poker ‘walk’ was held and
the top 3 fundraisers were announced. In total, over $12,000
was raised through this year’s event, bringing the three year
total to just over $42,000 raised for health care needs at Brookfield Bonnews Health
Centre.
