Merlin Blackwell of Blackwell Park Operations presents members of Clearwater's Junior Council with a guitar. Pictured are (l-r) Blackwell, Karter Romeo, Adriana Romeo, Joseph Razeau, Aliya Bieber and Megan Sim with the guitar.
The council is doing a “guitar drive” to collect about a dozen new (or barely used) instruments for the guitar band at Clearwater Secondary School.
“I donated the first to celebrate my companies 25th/Wells Gray 75th,” Blackwell says, “and am putting the challenge out that if businesses or individuals can donate six more new guitars(or the money to buy them), I will donate another one.”
Yamaha acoustics are a good standard.
