Just wanted to extend a big thanks to all who
helped out with the Skates for Kids event last Saturday. You did a great
job collecting skates - over 100 were collected by our team, The Adventure
Class and BMHA.
The Intelligencer, OJ 95.5, Mix 97, Cogeco, BMHA and
Belleville Bearcats all helped publicize the event. Also, a special
thanks to the Morrison's and Domino's for providing pizza for the crew.
Thanks to the players, over forty people (big and
small) were outfitted with skates on Saturday. The skates that are left
will also find homes - following a similar event in 2008, Sheryl was able
to outfit two classes with skates, and as word circulated, people came to see her
for the next two years to get skates.
Thanks to your efforts, a whole bunch of people who
may not ever have had their own skates now have a pair, and there will be more
in the future.
