Communities Pulls Together to Raise Funds to “Rescue Sarah� Restaurants, local businesses, golf tournaments, bake sales, bath bombs, lemonade, dares and challenges, raffle tickets, pizza sales so many things happening in town and the rural municipality to help raise $50,000 to Rescue Sarah from the Island, one of STARS biggest fundraising events of the year. To date Sarah has reached 60% of her goal with just over $30,000 in donations. The latest fundraiser was put on my a local boy, just 6 years old. Raymond decided to do a lemonade stand/bake sale to do his part to help STARS. After he attended the Dare Sarah for STARS event that took place at the CO-OP where he had so much fun challenging Sarah to a dance off, he decided he wanted to do something himself to raise funds. With the help of his mom Cynthia and some friends they worked together to whip up some baking and lemonade. Half of the funds raised, a whopping $329.50, was donated to Rescue Sarah 2020. Raymond is saving his half for a new bike. 6-year-old Raymond and mom Cynthia. Surrounding pictures from other comunity held events and efforts.
~ The Apology Act was passed in 2009 to make apologies inadmissible in court. This is a result of Canada’s frequent use of the word “sorry”, so it means that any apologies are merely an expression of sympathy or regret, rather than an admission of guilt or fault. Only in Canada, eh? ~ Canadians consume more Kraft Macaroni & Cheese dinners than any other nation in the world.
