Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, December 5, I had the pleasure to attend the 26th annual telethon of the Restigouche County Volunteer Action Association. As described by our local papers, this event is the largest single fundraiser for the largest charitable organization in Restigouche.
Every year, the charity organizes this fundraising event in order to produce around 500 baskets that are distributed to needy families over the holidays.
I would like to thank everyone who took part in the telethon and who gave so generously. Your donations will allow needy families in our region to enjoy the holidays too.
I wish to thank the organizers of this event. Thanks to them, the RCVAA will be able to give away over 500 baskets again this year.
Once again, congratulations on working so hard to make this event so successful and thank you for supporting people in our community. Your efforts are sincerely appreciated. Thank you.
