Members from Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, Station 29 (RCM-SAR29), took a $1,812.45 bite out of their $35,000 fundraising goal March 24 through a garage sale hosted by Art of Brewing and Winemaking owner Art Lindala (at right, sporting a tie-dyed “Beeriodic Table of Elements” T-shirt). Lindala sold carboys, corking presses, wine racks and more — much of it donated by customers — and forwarded 100 per cent of the proceeds to RCM-SAR29’s boat fund. Nick Epp-Evans, station leader with RCM-SAR29, said $35,000 would provide Station 29 with a pair of “nice engines” for the new rescue boat it plans to purchase. The Unit wishes to offer its sincere gratitude to Lindala and to those others that donated. Although the hull of the new rescue vessel will be manufactured soon, Unit 29 is frantically fundraising to achieve the final cost.
