Xmas fundraiser a success

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Clyde River, local and non-local businesses, and organizations for donating their time and effort towards the annual community Christmas feast.

We organized a Friday night dance on Dec. 17, 1999, and all the admission fees collected went towards the feast. A total of $927 was raised. We gave out many great prizes. which were donated by the following businesses and organizations.

Once again, I thank all the people who helped with the fund-raiser:

* First Air, two round trips for two to Pond Inlet and to Qikiqtarjuaq;

* Clyde River, two membership fee’s for one year;

* Radio Society, 45 gallons of heating fuel;

* Clyde River H.T O., 15 gallons of gas;

* Clyde River RC.M.P., one VCR;

* Northern Stores, two cases of snowmobile oil;

* Aarruja Store, tool box and tools;

* NTPC, Soapstone;

* Apitak Development Corporation, for the use of community centre free of charge.

* Hamlet of Clyde River Recreation Committee, 40 tickets to arena.

* QIA, tee-shirt and a cup.

We also would like to thank Nunavut Tunngavik for donating country food to the community, which were intended for their annual general meeting but was cancelled due to the weather in Clyde River.

You are most welcome to hold your next annual meeting here in community
