"A friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down." ~Unknown
This morning we welcomed back Eleanor Meldrum from the Dry Grad committee. Did you know that Dry Grad Chilliwack is celebrating its 27th annual occurance this year?
This is such a wonderful opportunity for our local grads to have a safe fun environment to celebrate their high school graduation.
Eleanor updated us that this past year we saw an 82% participation rate from our local grads. We also learned that Dry Grad is a massive partnership with the City, the RCMP, the three high schools and dozens of volunteers. Their urgent need is to replace some of their casino tables and they are fundraising constantly to keep the event fresh and fun!
It runs on June 28th, 2018, maybe this coming year we can volunteer for a shift?
We were thrilled to be able to present the Dry Grad committee with a cheque for $300 towards this event!
Keep up all the amazing work!
Other club communications included:
See you next week, for the good of Kiwanis,
Michelle
