Floyd Johnson Cares — This was the scene at Caleb Village Thursday morning as the BTEC “My Community Cares” campaign received another financial boost. Floyd Johnson (fifth from right), who resides at Caleb Village, provided a donation of $2,000 to the campaign. Surrounding Johnson are BTEC program participants as well as Executive Director Mona Leece (farthest right). Johnson was motivated to make the donation because his son had been involved in BTEC, and he issued a challenge to other seniors at Caleb Village to donate as well. The BTEC committee also received a donation of $201 from Caleb Village as part of a 50/50 draw held there, and they plan on more fundraising efforts. According to Mark Richardson on the fundraising committee, the committee is very happy with these and other donations so far ¬ “every little bit helps,” he said. Funds are going to a new BTEC building to replace their existing century-old facility. According to Richardson the tendering process is underway. The hope is that shovels will be in the ground in mid-to-late June. Photo by John Cairns
