Another successful Township Toddlers Supper wraps up!

On Saturday, October 5, the hall at the Knights of Columbus, in Cowansville was full of patrons coming to support the Township Toddlers fundraising dinner. Ross Cote was happy to see so many out for the cause. Last spring $30,000 was given to the Montreal Children’s Hospital towards purchasing five heated humidifiers for respiratory medicine and towards purchasing a forced oscillation resistance measurement device for respiratory medicine. The total goal was $42,500. A balance of $12,500 remained. On Saturday night about $6,000 was raised, and to it will be added the $8,500 raised this past summer in Knowlton at a ball tournament organized by Ross, Robert, John and Jason Cote. The goal was reached! Kudos go out to all who helped to make this possible.

Ross Cote mentioned a few special contributors. The Boutique Karma in Knowlton, near the Knowlton Pub, run by Tammy Lace, gave a cheque of $1,375 to the Township Toddlers. Knowlton Plastics gave $500 and two hockey tickets. Robert Cote’s granddaughter, Julie, raised $200 in Ontario. She plans on raising funds every year. Jane Langlois always brings 10 to 12 items every supper. Many other people donated to the auction, the door prizes, and gave of their time and talents to make the dinner a success. The band, “Smokin’ Country” donated their musical talents to end the evening with a full dance floor.

The twenty-five year mark has been passed and support is only growing for this worthy cause.
