From Chilliwack River Action Committee:

Hi Habitat Stewards,

Our annual Help Habitat Fundraiser went well this year. The weather was great, attendance down slightly, but the enthusiasm and participation of the crowd made up the difference.

Congratulations to our Raffle winners who were:

• 1st Prize $1000 Daniel Tsaz, Vancouver
• 2nd Prize $ 500 Tom Kennedy, Slesse Park
• 3rd Prize $ 250 Nelson Kahama, Cultus Lake

Thank you to the many businesses supported us with cash donations and prizes for the auctions, and their concern for the health and sustainability of our fishery resource.

Thank you to Barry Penner our MLA and Minister of the Environment, for his active care for the environment, and taking the time from his busy schedule to stop in to talk to us and drawing the winners.

And a special thank you to all of you, the sellers of tickets, lunch providers, workers at the auction and the buyers.

Our profit after paying the cash prizes and some expenses for the lunch supplies is over $5,750.

This gives us the seed funds for leverage with projects for next year.

• Nonie Creek off-channel rearing ponds
• Slesse Creek Stabilization
• Chilliwack River Nutrient Enrichment

Keep up the good work, and tight lines.
