Gold Mine Draw Vendors Honoured

Posted by Charlie Scobie on Mar 24, 2017

On Wednesday 22 March 2017 our first Vendors Appreciation Night was held at The Painted Pony. Gayle, who organized the event, welcomed members of the club and representatives of the various vendors. She thanked the vendors for their generosity in allowing us to place our Gold Mine boxes in their places of business. To date the Gold Mine Draw has raised $202,215.00 with half of that going to the winners and the other half divided between local charities and Rotary projects and charities.

Louise gave an overview of the history of our Gold Mine Draw acknowledging the help given to us by the Montague, P.E.I., Rotary Club.

As an example of how profitable the draw can be she presented this week’s winner Marguerite Harvey with a cheque for $2,302 – the draw took place on Marguerite’s birthday on 20 March !

Everyone present enjoyed the fellowship, not to mention the food . .
