WINTER UPDATE FROM OUR PRESIDENT, ILEANA McBAIN

The Board would like to thank all of our volunteers for the hours they dedicated to the running of the Bargain Barn and to our customers for supporting us.
 
Our sales have shown a steady increase over the past months and for January – September we earned over $61,750.  During July and August, our half day Friday opening added just shy of $3,000.  Extra thanks to the volunteers who helped out with this extra shopping initiative. Our e-bay sales are lower this year but still brought in $5,700 for collectables.

We have donated $9,000 to the Harbourside Friendship program that Marlene Cymbalist organizes for seniors.  Our $3,000 bursary and citizenship award was given to Holden Charlton who is pursuing a career in physiotherapy.

In November, we will give a $30,000 donation to our Health Centre for a grand total this calendar year of $61,500.  These funds are used to fund social and support programs at our Health Centre as well as health services, especially nursing services, to keep our health care local.
