Councillors to Help Raise Funds for Orphaned Children
(Friday, March 26/2004)--- Councillors Linda Mosher and Stephen Adams will be participating in a fund-raising effort this weekend to assist two young boys who lost their mother to cancer in early December.
Councillor Mosher said the event, being organized by the Ecole Chebucto Heights Parent-Teacher Association, will include a merchandise bingo and feature a silent auction. Proceeds from the bingo go to the PTA, and proceeds from the silent auction go to the family of the two boys.
She said the two boys are now in the care of their uncle, who has three children of his own. One of the boys has a medical condition that requires medication and a special diet.
Councillor Mosher said the school and local community have been very generous with donations of merchandise and other prizes for the bingo (prizes range from $70 to $200.) There are about 50 items valued between $10 to $180 included in the silent auction.
Councillors Mosher and Adams will be assisting with the events Sunday evening, and Mayor Peter Kelly is expected to attend.
When: Sunday, March 28, 2004
Time: Silent auction begins at 6 p.m., bingo begins at 7 p.m.
Where: Royal Canadian Legion, 7 Sussex Street, Spryfield
