On August 17, 2012, North Huron Block Parents® held
their first fundraiser at Foodland in Wingham.
Volunteers BBQ’d hot dogs & hamburgers, which helped
raise $289.36 in donations. These donations had no
expenses associated with them, due to the very generous
donation by Martino, the manager of Foodland in Wingham, who
donated the food, condiments, space, and BBQ.
Eastlink sent a cameraman to our event who interviewed
several people, this should appear on their cable news
starting next Wednesday. The Advance Times also showed
up to cover the fundraiser BBQ.
There was a strong police presence, even the Chief of Police
was seen wearing a temporary Block Parent® tattoo.
Wingham Police Officers were seen chatting with our youth,
sporting temporary tattoos and informing the public about
the Block Parents® program.
Only one North Huron Councillor attended, Bernie Bailey.
North Huron Block Parents® would like to thank <a
