Quality of Life Block Party

Saturday afternoon, July 23rd was the scene of an open invitation lawn party, pot-luck dinner, at the home of Norm and Mely Weitzel of Cranbrook, in support of the Quality of Life Challenge . . . a Living Wage for Cranbrook. There were 33 people in attendance, twenty of whom were new faces to the concept of the Quality of Life Challenge and eager to learn about this local initiative. The Social Planning Committee is raising awareness of the need to lift people up out of poverty in creative ways. Once again, the community stepped up to contribute to this event. Donations came from PharmaSave, Sandor Rental, ABC Country Restaurant, Cranbrook Society for Community Living Centre, McDonalds Restaurant. Special thanks to Mely Weitzel for all her work towards making this a successful event. Thanks to Norm Weitzel for the great idea, and to everyone who pitched in.




Stay tuned for more news on the work of this group in our community.
