Nelly's Project.indd 1 2014-09-12 8:03 AM WELCOME Welcome to Nellys’ Project – the fi rst fundraiser for Soul Sisters Memorial Foundation. Our non profi t society was formed in February 2014; a few short months after the death of our daughter Jeanelle Lobsinger. My sisters and I felt the need to organize a way to bring awareness to suicide and mental health issues within the community. Our mission is to get people talking about mental health and to erase the stigma attached; thus reducing the suicide rate. This has been an uphill battle for myself and my family; however planning this event has assisted us on our path of healing. Together and with the right information; we hope to save lives. THANK YOU It all started with an idea and look where we are in less than 7 months! Tonight would not be possible without the generosity of everyone in this hall; and for that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts . Whether you were a volunteer, donated an auction item, bought 50/50 tickets, purchased a cookbook, provided the entertainment, made a cash contribution; each and every one of you has helped our fi rst fundraiser be an absolute success. I am very pleased to donate proceeds from tonight to Victim Services Westlock and Pilgrims Hospice Edmonton. We will continue to fundraise and create awareness for suicide and mental health issues. We look forward to our next event – stay tuned! God bless the community we live in and the generous people in our lives. Christine Vachon President Soul Sisters Memorial Foundation
