Dear Editor:
On behalf of the clients, staff and volunteers at the Community Resource Centre, I wish to extend our appreciation to our community members, businesses and agencies for your support of Chilifest this year.
The Hall at the Fergus Legion was packed on Feb. 7 with hundreds of people enjoying themselves, many of whom have been to a number of Chilifests over the years.
Our outreach and support program serves those most in need in our community.
If you recall, the Vital Signs project illustrated that 1 in 12 children and 1 in 14 seniors live in poverty in Centre Wellington. Our staff serve over 400 households in Centre Wellington and another 400 plus in Wellington North, Minto and Mapleton.
Your support through attending, prize donation and sponsorship is so helpful in our work, however the inspirational support shown by your enthusiasm at Chilifest is just as important.
Thank you to our sponsors: Scotiabank, Zehrs, the Fergus Legion, Ecclestone Financial and the Wellington Advertiser.
Thank you for your encouragement and good wishes.
Ron MacKinnon,
Executive director,
Community Resource Centre of North and Centre Wellington
