In the summer of 2021 Ray Friesen RPF, Log Trader of Tolko, Vernon presented two community societies in Cherryville with a donation of $10,000.00 each.
One donation of $10,000.00 went towards the purchase of a digital sign for the Cherryville Community Club!
Since the hall was built in 1985, the club posted announcements on a sign board by hand. This was not an easy task at times, and we couldn’t get all the community events posted.
So now, all community events can be advertised from this great digital sign.
The sign was purchased in Sept. of 2021 and was installed Sept. of 2022.
From the time of purchase to the installment of the sign, many businesses and people helped to make this possible:
Thank you to the following:
- Alpha Signs, Vernon, and Burnaby B.C.
- RHW Electric Ltd.
- Coldstream Electric
- Trent Harvey
- Sign Doe, Vernon BC
- Amanda Derdau – Programmer
- Cherryville Foodbank and Resource Center
- Regional District of North Okanagan
This is the sign that will keep on giving!
Tolko generously donated $10,000.00 to the Cherryville Food & Resource Society. Our new Resource Centre is designed to reach out and provide support for Seniors, those living with disabilities and low-income families. The Resource Centre is designed to help reach out to people needing help with technology, education, and a safe place to meet. We have been successful in adding soccer for youth, day camp, income tax preparation and rides to Vernon for groceries for Seniors. We rely on our community donors to keep the Food & Resource Centre running.
Thank you, Tolko, for all your support!
On behalf of the Cherryville Community Club and the Cherryville Food & Resource Society, we thank you so much!!
