To the editor:
Thompson Rivers University (TRU) in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House recently held a very successful fundraiser (raised $37,500) to help students, who have chosen to further their education here in the Cariboo, with bursaries.
Thank you to all who supported our event, especially Gill Montgomery who represents the 100 Mile area on our TRU Grit Committee.
This event will now become an annual event. All funds raised will be used only to support local students to attend TRU in the Cariboo. We’ve set the date of the last Saturday in March annually and have already started planning our 2013 event.
Your support of this wonderful cause is heartfelt by the committee, staff and mostly by the many volunteers who made this successful event happen. The students will be the biggest winners as they continue their career path through education.
Thank you 100 Mile House.
