“Buddy-Up” With Slocan Valley Rec Have you always wanted to support the community but don’t know how? At Slocan Valley Rec our aim is to keep our programs affordable and accessible to all. You can help by becoming a Valley Rec Buddy! Here’s how! Do you love photography or painting and want to help an aspiring artist fulfill a dream? Perhaps you’d like to support a future Olympic athlete or aspiring dancer? Or maybe you just love a specific sport but don’t play yourself anymore. By making a small donation you’ll provide someone an opportunity to take a program or allow a program to run at an affordable price. All donations don’t have to be monetary. Throughout the year we hold special events or activities that need people to assist us. We’d love to have you help so give us a call and let us know you’re available. Every donation is significant, greatly appreciated and will be used exactly as you request. You will be acknowledged (your name or anonymously) in the next issue of our Leisure Guide for your contribution to the vitality of our community. Please call our office today for more information!
All the fun that fits!
