Two local volunteer organizations have joined forces to raise funds for a proposed Drayton splash pad.
The Drayton Rotary Club and Drayton Kinettes held a successful Movie in the Park night in early September and are now in the process of hosting a large fundraiser that will run until the end of November.
The clubs are raising funds with a raffle draw, with prizes including:
– Nick Spaling Toronto Maple Leafs autographed jersey;
– Scott Cherry NHL linesman autographed jersey;
– Molson beer fridge;
– $100 gift card to Drayton Chop House;
– dinner theatre tickets (play and dinner) May 12, 2016; and
– four Kitchener Rangers home game tickets for Jan. 24.
Tickets are $10 each and may be purchased from Rotary or Kinette club members, at the Drayton Chop House and `a la mode.
The clubs have limited the number of tickets available to 2,000.
Information can be found on the Kinettes Facebook page or by calling Bob Bignell 519-741-7595.
Draw date is Nov. 28 at the second annual Mapleton’s Got Talent show. Talented individuals or groups of all ages are invited to participate in the talent show at the Drayton Festival Theatre at 7pm.
“If you can juggle, dance, sing, play an instrument, recite a poem or have any other talent, we are looking for you,” said Rotary member Lorrie Spaling.
“It is a fun evening for a great cause. Last year the show was two hours of laughter, smiles, singing and a lot of fun. Elvis made an appearance and entertained the audience.”
Contact Spaling at 519-638-2232 to register. Deadline for registration is Nov. 14.
Admission to the event is by donation, with all proceeds going directly to the splash pad project. The clubs are planning to make the talent show an annual event.
“There are a number of great prizes in the raffle and many talented people in Mapleton and area who are part of the talent show,” Spaling said.
“Please come out and support these community events.”
