Dawson Creek Kiwanis Trade Show 2012

 CASI Dawson Creek coordinator and volunteers manned a booth at the 2012 Kiwanis Trade Show back in April. For three days we offered information to the thousands of people who stream through the show. We were very fortunate to acquire a large corner booth where we could arrange our displays so people could come in out of the flow of traffic and speak to us in a less rushed manner. We found this made for much more satisfying networking with more people leaving their names and numbers to be contacted as volunteers or as clients.

Our Information displays showed the increase in volunteers and seniors over the last year and featured letters and testimonials as well as photos of our volunteers and seniors.

We promoted our ongoing fundraiser - the Treasured Chronicles DVDs - locally produced videos of Peace Region seniors telling stories of homesteading the area.

We were very pleased with the overwhelming support for the project, everyone said it was a much needed program and we were also pleased at how many people were already aware of CASI and its services.

Visitors entered our draw, which was won by EV Estey of Chetwynd, BC.

Today we were honoured to receive a donation from Miriam Hall, on behalf of the Keith Hall Memorial Fund. Keith was an amazing person; an accomplished opera singer who settled with his family in Dawson Creek. Keith was passionate about people, he was a caring man who touched the lives of many with his positive, compassionate personality.

Keith loved to sing for seniors in the care homes and the seniors loved him for it. Keith passed away in 2008 and is sorely missed.

Miriam, Keith's widow, learned about CASI and decided that Keith would have liked to support a project that helps seniors stay independent.

The CASI Project greatly appreciates this show of support and confidence.
