Back Cast Flood Relief Benefit Film Night (Friday July 19, 2013) - A Look Back
I’m pleased to report that we were able to deliver cheques totalling $2,384.75 to ‘The Calgary Foundations - Flood Rebuilding Fund’.
Those funds represent the net proceeds of my ‘Back Cast Flood Relief Benefit Film Night’ held on July 19 2013.
Film Night attendees were also generous with their donations of food items to Cardel Theatre’s bin for the Calgary Food Bank, along with cash donations of $45.00.
Special thanks to:
McLennan Fly Fishing – Jim and Lynda contributed a significant portion from the proceeds of the evening’s sale of books, photos and CDs.
Josh Noble, President, Edge Technologies Inc. – Josh, an avid fly fisher and drift boater, provided a corporate donation of $500.00.
Thank you also to so many others who contributed in various ways.
