The Pembina Community Resource Council, Services for Seniors, has begun a fundraising campaign to help in the purchase of a new handivan to replace the one presently in service in the community.

With the Manitou Friendship Centre making the decision to close its doors, the current executive decided to donate their reserve account of $15,202.53 to this project, as many of their members will see direct benefit from this service.

Donations toward this fundraising campaign are welcome. Anyone interested in helping out can make cheques payable to the Municipality of Pembina, Box 189, Manitou, MB R0G 1G0.

The Municipality of Pembina will be administering the funds and will issue tax receipts for any amount $25.00 and over.
