Dear Editor,

On behalf of Pathfinder Youth Centre Society’s Working Together Maple Ridge 7-1 program, we would like to thank you for your support with our free Children’s Summer Carnival.

This year’s carnival was held on Sept. 9 at Memorial Peace Park and was a huge success. We had another incredible turnout this year of more than 400 children and their accompanying parents.

The success of our carnival is largely based on the thoughtful contributions from organizations like yours. We appreciate your community spirit and continued support.

A special “thank you” to all of our donors, volunteers and to our community partners, Library Live On Tour, Westgate Wellness Centre, Alouette Addictions, and JJ’s Playzone who attended our event this year, enhancing our carnival experience and overall, fun-filled atmosphere.

Our donors are so numerous this year that we cannot mention all of them in this letter. [Note: Find the full list of donors at www.mrtimes.com, click on Letters.] so I have attached a complete list of donors along with a certificate of appreciation and a copy of the article printed by The TIMES who did an amazing job reporting on this year’s event!

If you have any comments or questions regarding our carnival, are interested in further information regarding our organization and the programs we offer, or would like information on future events and fundraisers, please feel free to call or email me at your convenience.

Once again, to everyone involved, a huge “thank you” for your continued support.

Alana Jackson and Ruth Lee, Pathfinder Youth Centre Society
