KCCCS unveils expansion project

continued from page 9

The results of the study
showed a great need for day
care for infants and toddlers
with and without special
needs and support and day
care for young mothers and
their children.

When the opportunity
arose to purchase the
building (an old church)
next to the existing services
(Hobbit Hill), the society
chose to undertake an
expansion of its services.

This was rather
frightening due to the
society being a non-profit
organization and committed
to being fiscally responsible

businesses participated in
events such as “A Night Out
for the Kids” — an auction
at the Hi Arrow and “Doing
Time for Charity” was a
great success.

The Variety Club of B.C.
matched $10,000 raised
during a telethon, Ronald
McDonald Children’s
Charities donated $20,000
for accessibility costs, the
B.C. Lotteries granted
$54,700 and The Vancouver
Foundation and Weston
Foundation also were major
contributors.

This project was
becoming a reality and
business and community

‘This project was becoming a reality and
business and community donations
were coming in steadily. The society even
received the contents of one piggy bank
owned by Ryan Popoff.’

and not borrow money.

Thus began a fundraising
campaign by executive
director, Katrine Conroy.

In February 1991, the
Variety Club gave $109,000.
Of that, $68,000 went to
purchase the building and
the rest was to be used for
equipment.

The Selkirk Lions
donated all the interior and
exterior doors, a mural to be
done by Richard Widdifield
and their time and labor.

The Kiwanis of Castlegar
contributed all the paint for
the building and their time
and effort in painting it. The
community and _ local

donations were coming in
steadily.. The society even
received the contents of one
piggy bank owned by Ryan
Popoff. All contributors will
be acknowledged and many
plaques will be erected in
the foyer of the new
building in appreciation.

During this time the
society invited public
participation in helping to
name the new building and
under-three day care.

The name Tender Care
Variety Centre was selected
for the new building, while
the Tender Care Infant
Program would be the name
under-three day care
programs. Nelson Joy

Stewart selected the names
and, in place of a dinner for
two, chose to have a plaque
erected in her name.

The society was
pleasantly surprised to
receive a donation of siding
for the entire new building
from Alcan Building
Products in Kelowna and
local volunteers and
laborers of the Employment
Plus Program who helped
install it.

With your help we have
raised over $350,000.

The final project will
come in at approximately

budget is $647,000 and we
employ 25 staff.

As you can see, we are
not just a day care but an
impressive-sized business.

The Kootenay Columbia
Child Care Society would
like to express a sincere and
heartfelt thank you to all
who took part. in its
expansion project, from
volunteers who kindly gave
of their time and to donors,
from Ryan Popoff’s $26.77
to the Variety Club’s
