REGINA - Members of the Estevan Kinsmen and Kinettes Clubs have saluted a former Estevan resident for his lengthy commitment to the Telemiracle fundraiser.
Bill Morrell, who was a long-time member of the Estevan Kinsmen Club, has been a part of 44 of the 46 Telemiracle fundraisers. He now resides in Moose Jaw, and continues to help out at the fundraiser.
During Saturday night's portion of the broadcast, when the Estevan Kinsmen and Kinettes were presenting the money that they raised from the community, they brought Morrell onto the stage. They presented him with a vest commemorating his longevity.
It has logos from the different Telemiracle broadcasts that Morrell assisted.
The fundraiser went off the air at 5 p.m. Sunday with $8,002,722, setting a new off-air record. It was the second time that Telemiracle has cleared $7 million. The previous off-air record was set in 2018.
