Royal wedding themed fundraiser nets over $3,200
A unique plan to fund much-needed repairs to the roof of their hall was a success for St. Paul’s Anglican Church.
The lighthearted event held last Friday tied in with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials, which was fitting because Harry’s grandmother Queen Elizabeth II is the head of the Anglican Church of Canada.
Dr. Victoria Lamb Drover, a member of the fundraising committee, said the sold-out affair was a truly royal soirée, which helped them exceed their $3,000 fundraising goal.
“We wanted to do something light, something exciting, and something new to the Battlefords,” she said. “We were able to raise that and more, about $3,200.”
