West Nipissing Chamber hosts Successful Business After 5!

 
On Wednesday, June 11th, the West Nipissing Chamber co-hosted Business After 5 with Le Loup 97.1 FM, at their offices at Minnehaha Bay.  The 55 attendees enjoyed wine and hors d'oeuvres generously provided by Foodland Sturgeon Falls. Many members went home with great door prizes, including $500.00 in advertising on Le Loup 97.1 FM, a gift basket from Foodland, a gift certificate from Leisure Farms, a golf shirt and cap from Caisse Populaire Sturgeon Falls, a camping chair from Michaud & Levesque and a emergency kit donated by Community Living West Nipissing.

 

Community Living also pitched in by providing bartenders and helpers on the charity golf game, where even more prizes were won.  Over $180.00 was raised for Community Living on the challenging and fun "Marshmallow Mini-Putt!"

 

Thank you to all those who attended, and a very special thanks once again to Le Loup 97.1 FM, Foodland, Community Living, Leisure Farms, Michaud & Levesque and Caisse Populaire for helping to make this event such a success.
