Excitement is growing over the Move-A-Thon this Saturday at the Castlegar Community Complex.
It is about to be re-demonstrated how much can be accomplished by friends and neighbours going through the simple act of moving around for a couple of hours.
The Move-A-Thon is orchestrated by the Selkirk Lions Club and taking part is as straightforward as picking up a form at the complex and lining up a few supporters in the way of pledges, then walking or skating with other like-minded members of the community between 10 and noon on Feb. 11.
If it suits you better, you can just show up that day and make any kind of donation you feel comfortable with... and join the fun.
If you want to talk to someone about it just give Selkirk Lions Club spokesperson Joanne Baker a call, she can provide any details you need. Her number is 250-365-3884.
Last year $3,500 was raised in two hours. Half of what each participant raised was directed to the cause of their choice. Baker says it could be almost anything... a parent group... sports team... community club, etc. The other half went to the recipient chosen by the organizers... this year it’s the local Hospice Society.
So get a move on... before 10 a.m. this Saturday at the Community Complex.
