Editor, The Times:

For over 40 years the communities of Vavenby and Clearwater have supported the annual Birthday Community Spirit Calendar. It is time to renew your support, and give yourselves the opportunity to share in some of the fun.

By supporting this fundraiser you give yourselves an interesting community treasure. Local business contact information is available at a glance, meeting dates as well as personal birth-dates and anniversaries of participating groups and individuals are featured.

A contest for our ‘Family Fun in the North Thompson’ featured photo could net you the coveted $50 finalist reward.

Photos and orders are through the North Thompson Aboriginal Centre, located down by the Post Office, or you can contact me for more information.

Deadline for our ‘early bird’ draw in Aug. 1. New or renewing, all are welcome
