Haying In The ‘30’s fundraiser supports cancer patients Michelle Pinon Editor “For it is giving that we receive.” Those words, first spoken by St. Francis of Assisi, and they ring true for Gail Patrie and other cancer survivors and supporters of the Haying In The ‘30’s fundraiser who participated in the 10th annual event on Saturday, April 18 held at the St. Michael Recreation Centre. MC Mae Adamyk thanked everyone for “making the evening such a success,” by demonstrating their generosity and displaying their compassion. Patrie is one of those giving people. She is just recovering from cancer treatments, and spent many months this past winter crafting a one-ofkind CAT quilt, that was
purchased during the live auction for $1,500 by Daniel and Delores Warawa, who are neighbours of Gail and her husband Leonard, who live in the Mundare area. Both Gail and Daniel also received support from Haying In The ‘30’s when they were undergoing cancer treatments. Shirley Hope, also cancer survivor, was in attendance during this year’s fundraiser. Both Shirley and her husband Paul donated the St. Michael sign that was auctioned off during the live auction as well. The sign was purchased by Mae and Tom Adamyk, who decided to donate the sign to the St. Michael & District Agricultural Society. Both Mae and Tom are long time members of the ag. society, which hosts the annual Haying
In The ‘30’s fundraiser. The original Haying In The ‘30’s began in the ‘90’s and was founded by E d g a r Corbiere of Mallaig. This summer, the Mallaig event will be held on Aug. 1 and 2.
