The 100th anniversary of Kin Canada was celebrated last Saturday.
The Kinnettes Club also held their annual wine and mickey draw afterward which saw a great turnout.
Treasurer for the Dauphin Kinnette Club Nicole Gulenchin was happy with the support the event received.
“It was awesome. We had a fantastic turnout. We raised lots of money. We had over 20 sponsors for the event. We received almost 30 prize donations. We had huge support from the community, it was great to see. Becoming a member of Kinsmen or Kinnettes is a great way to give back to your community and it’s a great way to get out and meet people, and a fantastic way to support your community.”
At the draw, 50 year Kinnette member Iona Tarrant got recognized for her service.
She said that it's the people that she loves that has made her stay.
“The people, the community service, the comradery and the helping make your community a better place. Every community needs volunteers and we’ve got lots of wonderful ones.”
Anyone that wants to join the Kinsmen or Kinnettes club is encouraged to reach out to a local member, or contact them on their Facebook page.
