Hospital Auxiliary’s raffle winners!

Jill Leslie and Sharon Cain hold the lovely quilt they made as a fundraiser for the Revelstoke Hospital Auxiliary and Cheryl Fry and Wendy Larson (right) draw the winners of the raffle. Kelly Cann won the quilt. Kathie MacKay won the second prize — a basket of gourmet coffees and Fly Boyes won the third prize basket of Green products. The draw raised $2,440 to support the Auxiliary’s good works in Revelstoke. No matter how you look at it, the Hospital Auxiliary Society does a marvellous job of raising money to support seniors, sick people and others in dire need in our community. They are also a major donor to the Ambulance Service, the Fire and Rescue Service, Mount Cartier Court and the hospital.

Just one more note of interest: this is the third quilt Jill and Sharon have created to benefit fundraising efforts in our community. My hat's off to you ladies. David F. Rooney photo
