Optimists support local summer day camps

The Boys & Girls Club of Yorkton has received a donation from the Downtowners Optimist Club of Regina.

The $1000 presentation was made Grant Fandrey of the Downtowners Optimist Club of Regina, and will go to assist with the organization’s Summer Day Camps.

“Due to COVID-19, we have experienced a loss of several major fundraisers and a reduction in Summer Day Camp revenues, coupled with a large increase in expenses in order to operate in accordance with public health recommendations and guidelines,” said Lorraine Moeller Executive Director with the Club. “This donation will assist us in offsetting costs and providing kids in Yorkton with a great summer.”
