Family Get Together at Apex

by

Winter wonderland is a great way to describe Apex!  Our families had the chance to go up and enjoy a day of tubing at the Apex tube park on Sun, Feb 23rd.   It was a great day with 53 participating in our activity.  It was snowing, and the sun came out during the bulk of our time.

Some families brought up hot dogs to roast, others packed a lunch, and we all enjoyed the hot chocolate provided to us by Tim Hortons Penticton (BIG thank you!).  Lots of fun was had by all.  Some families had never ventured up to the hill, and some had never tried tubing.   Lots of smiling faces told me they had a great time and loved having the opportunity to go!

We were able to make this happen because of our grant from the Community Foundation SOS that supports our Monthly FGT.  Thank you!

 

Christmas Party 2019

by

On December 15th we had our Annual Christmas Party, which is part of our Monthly Family Get Togethers, a program we run thanks to the support of the Community Foundation SOS and Safeway.   It took place in the afternoon at the Shatford Centre, and was a fun afternoon of crafts, cookie decorating, snacks and socializing.   The highlight was a great visit from Santa with a gift for each child in attendance.

A big thank you to IGA Penticton for the cookies and icing, Safeway for the snacks/drinks/cookie decorations, CFSOS for their ongoing support that makes it possible, and the Shatford for the great space that makes it all happen.   Our volunteers were amazing as always, and we were able to give each of our long term volunteers a thank you for their dedication and support!

Please enjoy the photos, and share with friends!

Support from JCI Penticton

by

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!

by

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.
