The Local Weekly The heart and soul of our communities with news and information about the Sunshine Coast
The West Sechelt Playground Enhancement Team held a Burger and Beer Fundraiser at the Lighthouse Pub on May 9 to raise funds to upgrade the playground at West Sechelt Elementary School. The Chair of this committee, Susan Shinn, Secretary Christine Wood and Treasurer Allyson Fawcus worked very hard fine-tuning the details for this event. Susan canvassed the Coast for silent auction items from 50 local businesses. The tickets were $20 each which included live music by Joe Stanton & Simon Paradis, a burger, a beer, silent auction, 50/50 draw, lotto board and balloon prizes. Our community truly believes in this project, so much that the winner of the 50/50 draw, Christopher Fawcus, donated his winnings back to the cause. This event brought in over $3500 in profit that will greatly help toward the completion of the playground. Full project details can be found at www.west
