From left to right, this photo shows Dean Francks and Jan Shumay from North Okanagan Youth and Family Services, Mandy Humphrey from North Okanagan Child Care & Montessori Pre-School (Maven Lane), Glory Westwell from Habitat for Humanity and Rotarian Taylor Dedora, who was the committee chairman for last year’s Dream Auction. All three organizations received funds last year from money raised through the Dream Auction. They were invited to attend this meeting to show the club some of the local groups that benefit from this event.

The photos below show Mandy receiving the funding cheque from Club President Mary Jackson and Taylor Dedora. The funds were used to perform renovations at the Maven Lane child care site. A major bathroom upgrade was essential and it would also allow them to add 40 new spaces. In appreciation, and with a sense of humor, Mandy presented the club with one of the old (well cleaned) toilet seats that had been signed by the kids at Maven Lane.
