The Broadview Kinettes are working hard and playing hard.
The not-for-profit service group has hosted a number of events and fundraisers in the community, and will let loose with their cabaret for a cause early next month.
In 2011, the Broadview Kinettes hosted a Family Fun Day with day and night golf and an inflatable playground. In December, the service group hosted the Christmas Family Dance, which was attended by about 90 kids.
Light up the Night Contest was also held, and prizes were awarded for the best (Christmas) decorated house. In February, there was the Poker Tournament of which all proceeds went to Telemiracle. A few of the Broadview Kinettes also volunteered at this year’s Telemiracle Telethon held in Regina.
The past few years Broadview Kinettes also hosted Ladies Nights, Halloween dances, Family Fun Days and helped out with other events like the Christmas Train, Meals on Wheels, Street Dances etcetera.
Donations were made to the Broadview Community Safetynet, AR-Reading program from the school, Broadview School Drama, Breast Health, Broadview Hospital, Spirit of Youth Award, Broadview Library and Telemiracle. The Kinettes also purchased a chairlift, insulin pump and scooter for community members in need.
