Bell MTS Place wasn’t the only whiteout going strong in southern Manitoba this spring. On Friday, May 11, residents of Niverville and the surrounding area crowded in on Whitetail Meadow for the annual Community Resource Centre fundraiser, decked out in white formal wear. The theme: Casino Blanc.
This, the second annual auction from the Community Resource Centre fundraising team, included both a silent auction and a live auction. Local businesses and individuals donated 32 prizes.
“While we are still waiting to confirm final numbers, over $30,000 was raised at the event towards the new Community Resource Centre,” says Heather Miller of the fundraising committee. “Thank you!”
The auction wasn’t the only aspect of the evening to look forward to. Amazing Entertainment, of Winnipeg, brought in blackjack tables and roulette wheels. Music was provided by Magnum Sound, keeping people on the dance floor to the end of the night. Photographer Amber Hayward, in addition to covering photography for the entire event, set up a photo booth with plenty of fun accessories.
During the evening, Ron Ashcroft and Darryl Rempel of the Niverville Credit Union presented the CRC committee with a donation cheque in the amount of $10,000.
Miller notes that the owners and staff of Whitetail Meadow were a breeze to work with. She also extends thanks to Elmer Hiebert, who spent the night safely transporting attendees from the venue back to Niverville on the community bus.
“And a big thank you to the hardworking volunteer team that helped organize the event: April Nurse, Elvin Krahn, Gillian Groening, Vanessa Worrell, Kelsey Kosman, and Courtnay Demers,” says Miller. “Without their tireless efforts collecting prizes and planning for the evening, the event would not have taken off.”
