He says they’d like to raise a quarter of a million dollars in the upcoming campaigns.
Bonnar says they’re looking at a couple of options including possibly a chase the ace.
He encourages people who haven’t already, to buy a membership to Th’YARC.
“When you put in applications for government funding, the more people you have on board the better. we’re looking to increase to about one thousand members. We’re at around 600 currently.
On another note, Bonnar also says they are collecting children’s winter coats.
