Pledge Day Oct. 10

The United Way campaign is holding a
special Pledge Day on October 10 and will
be setting up booths in two different
locations to receive pledge cards or
donations of cash or cheques. You can also
munch while you give if you visit the
booth in the South Cafe, as they will be
having a bake sale from noon to 2 pm. The
North Cafe booth will be run in conjunction
with the Beaver Foods Thanksgiving Dinner
and the Retail Management pub night, and
will be open from 4 to 6 pm. Those who
drop off pledge cards or donations will
also have their names entered in a draw to
be made later this month.
