THANK YOU TO THE TRENTON ROWING AND PADDLING CLUB Funds raised through the Trenton Dragon Boat Festival will be used to help kids attend summer camp at the YMCA of Central East Ontario’s Belleville and Quinte West branches. For over 150 years the YMCA has been responding to our community’s challenges. Whether it’s a place to go after school, a helping hand with homework or a place for the family to play, the YMCA is there for children and their families. The YMCA is open to all, dedicated to service to others and providing opportunities for growth in spirit, mind and body. The YMCA believes everyone should be able to participate in recreation programs regardless of their ability to pay fees. Financial circumstances are not a barrier to participation; children should be able to participate like their more affluent peers. With your help, we make this happen. Your assistance will help us continue the culture of hope that has developed at the YMCA of Central East Ontario. In fact, last summer donations helped send 359 children to camp providing them with experiences that brought sunshine and magic into their lives. Thank you to the Trenton Dragon Boat Festival, participants and those who raised pledges for your support. We hope you all feel wonderful about your contribution to our communities’ children. A special thank you to Bayshore Credit Union Ltd. and the Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club, both members and volunteers, for your support and commitment to the children of our region.
