Support from JCI Penticton
The Junior Chamber International Penticton chapter made a huge donation to the DFP to help support our Spring and Summer Programs. In the Fall of 2019, they hosted a golf tournament, and the proceeds from the tournament amounted in a $2227.86 donation to us. Thanks to Harpreet (Pictured) for representing JCI Penticton. Thanks JCI!!
Thank you Penticton Oldtimers Hockey Club!
Thank you so very much to the Penticton Oldtimers Hockey Club for directing the proceeds of their Legacy Fund to the Dragonfly Pond Family Society! The donation to DFP was for $1183.31, and goes a long way to helping us run the programs that we do. Without generous local groups such as the Penticton Oldtimers Hockey Club, we simply could not have the reach that we do. We look forward to a bright future for our families, and to welcoming many more into our network through the years.
Thank you to the Community Foundation South Okanagan Similkameen (CFSOS) for the incredible work they do in the community allowing groups such as the POHC have a format to collect and disperse funds as needed throughout the community.
New program at OSNS!
The OSNS (Okanagan Similkameen Neurological Society) has started a great new program called Link@OSNS.
LINK@OSNS is a place for youth! It is designed to help young people with Autism or social communication
difficulties develop social skills and make friendships in a welcoming, fun and engaging environment.
LINK@OSNS was created by an Occupational Therapist, Speech Language Therapist, Social Worker and a Behaviour
Interventionist. LINK@OSNS will be delivered by OSNS staff and supported by local youth leaders – our YOUTH
CREW!
Youth Participants and Youth Crew will meet once a week (Wednesday or Thursday) after school from 3:30 – 5:30 pm
to share interests, participate in social activities and spend time with others.
Please see the attached flyer and head to the link to see what it’s all about!
