100 Women Who Care The Battlefords met on Thursday, Feb. 6. Regrettably, many members were absent but the presentations from the three nominated charitable/non-profit organizations were informative and impactful. The three nominees were:
AMGITS - Mike Kramm, manager of rehabilitation services;
Battlefords Victim Services - Rita Panapasa, co-ordinator;
Dekker Centre - Kali Weber, general manager.
A presentation by Battlefords Interval House was also made regarding how they have used the 100 Women Who Care funds to equip and provide safety measures for a new playroom.
