 The Winkler Morden Voice Thursday, November 23, 2017 3 Holly Jolly Breakfast raises $10K

By Ashleigh Viveiros

The Winkler and District Christmas Cheer Board served up nearly 300 pancake breakfasts at its annual Holly Jolly Break- fast on Saturday. The event brought in just over $5,000 in donations, which was matched by breakfast sponsor Scotiabank to bring the grand total to a little over $10,000. That will take a big bite out of the Cheer Board’s bills for this year’s care hampers, which go out to families in need on Dec. 6. “It makes it a lot easier,” says Cheer Board chair Francis Fehr. “We’re seeing a lot of other fundraisers coming together, too, which is exciting.” You can drop off monetary donations and non-perishable food items at City Hall from now until the fi rst week of De- cember. Winkler Co-op has also launched its Cheer Board cam- paign, accepting monetary donations at the till. The Cheer Board expects to deliver over 330 hampers this year. They’ll be packed full of food and gifts for the kids to en- sure everyone has a merry Christmas, says Fehr. Volunteers will be needed to help pack up the hampers Dec. 4-6 and to deliver them the evening of the 6th. If you’d like to help out, call the Cheer Board at 204-362-3946.

Winkler and Morden Tim Hortons owners Jeff and Linda Doerksen were joined by Morden restaurant manager Sarah Friesen last week in presenting Michael Penner of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Morden-Winkler with the proceeds of this year’s Smile Cookie campaign. Cookie sales Sept. 11-17 raised $9,127 for the mentoring agency, bringing the fundraising tally over the past decade to more than $68,000. The funds will help Big Bros. support its growing mentorship program, which currently has a waiting list of 35 kids. Tim Hortons’ ongoing support of the agency is “incredibly valuable,” Penner said. “They support us in so many different ways. Financially, their support is invaluable. We can’t do what we do without it.” PHOTO BY LORNE STELMACH/VOICE New Winkler compost bins available soon

Shaw Direct Satellite TV and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Morden-Winkler invite you to a free showing of Jim Car- rey’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas next week. Shaw Direct has bought out one of the theatres at Land- BLACK FRIDAY CASH mark Cinemas in Winkler on Saturday, Dec. 2 at 10 a.m. for this family movie screening. Donations will be accept- ed on site for Big Brothers Big Sisters. “It’s a great opportunity for kids, families to come out for a free movie,” said Shaw’s Scott Thompson, who noted a similar event in Yorkton, Saskatchewan was very well- received and they’re hoping the same will hold true in Winkler. “We found it was very successful in the com- munity and got great response from the charity and also people who wanted to support the charity.” They opted to support Big Bros. because of the great work the agency does in helping volunteers mentor local children, Thompson said. “Whenever Shaw Direct looks at doing charitable type things we always look at charities that involve kids,” he said. Big Bros. executive director Michael Penner is grateful for that support. “It’s a great opportunity,” he said. “I think it’s a fantastic idea of just giving back to the community, having a free and fun family Christmas movie.” The doors open at 9 a.m. to give people a chance to score some discounted snacks before the movie begins. Snack packs (which include a snack-size popcorn, small drink, and a candy) will be available for $6.50 and a medium combo (a medium popcorn and a medium drink) for $9. Tickets are limited and are available by calling Big Bros. at 204-325-9707 or contacting them on Facebook. You can also stop by their offi ce at 254 Main St. for tickets.
