The Arthur community came out to bowl to wind up the Big Brother’s Big Sister’s North Wellington (BBBSNW) 2013 Bowl for Kids campaign on March 3.
There were 36 teams on hand at the Mount Forest Bowling Centre, Sunday, including 180 bowlers, who raised $16,512, putting the campaign total at $58,034, just short of the $60,000 goal.
“We are confident we will reach that goal when all pledged monies are turned in,” said BBBSNW executive director Marnie Mainland. “Each year we are amazed at the generosity of our communities and cherish their support.”
BBBSNW will be holding an appreciation breakfast on April 27 at St. Mary Church hall in Mount Forest and advise participants to watch local papers for an official thank you and invitation to this event. All winners will be notified but everyone is welcome.
