This year’s campaign went very well again. I had 14 receipt books issued and returned. We collected $4,489.92 in donations from the days we were at Neepawa Gladstone Co-op Grocery Store, Harris Pharmacy, Elks Manor, Aspenlea Seniors Apartment, Kinsmen Kourts, Venus Hair Salon and West Park Place Residents. According to my records, this year’s totals were more than we received in 2014 and 2015.
