Roses and Raspberries: January

Roses to Barking Spider Mountain Bike Shop for providing a great location and support for the annual Blue Fins Swim Club tree sale.

Roses to Barking Spider Mountain Bike Shop for providing a great location and support for the annual Blue Fins Swim Club Christmas tree sale. Our Christmas tree sales have been critical in maintaining a healthy club and healthy kids.

Community members who persevered in finding our new location, and those who donated large amounts in excess of selling price will effect positive influences in the health and skills of our children.

Community support, from local small business such as Barking Spider, and dedicated volunteers throughout Williams Lake are what make this a great place to raise families.

Shop local first.

I would like to send a large bushel basket of raspberries to the electrical and heating shop who sold me the wrong part for my furnace to the tune of $172 and refuses to take it back.

I would like to send a huge bouquet of flowers to RL-7 Mechanical who sold me fan switches for my furnace, costing $40. It works fine. Thank you for your honesty.

A heap of roses to the kind and nice looking gentleman who put money toward my Greyhound bus ticket.

I was standing in line at the bus station on Dec. 19 to buy a ticket to go visit family in Vernon when he came in to pick up a parcel.

“I never got to buy my grandma a gift so this is for you,” he said as he handed the employee some money.

I was in shock and want to thank him.

Firstly, roses to a generous, courageous lady who dropped off a pillow case full of sheets and box of cloths/towels to SPCA on Dec. 27, 2014. She had tried twice before that week but it was closed.

What was so outstanding were the efforts she went through each time. From a childhood disease she struggles to walk, using crutches.

On the day I met the lady in her 30s, it had snowed and was so icy that she fell and had trouble getting up. A SPCA worker and I helped to her feet.

She also gave SPCA a Save-On-Foods gift certificate.

Her concern was not for herself but that she had something of value to give.

It touched my heart to see the extent to which this kind person went to help an organization that helps sometimes abandoned or abused helpless animals.

Roses deserved by all who help/work at SPCA.

A huge thank you to the gentleman for the monetary contribution towards my truck wash on Monday, Dec. 15 at Blacky’s Truck and Car Wash.

He was paying it forward because I let him into a bay ahead of me. Totally unexpected and very appreciated ... it made my day!  Thanks again.

Bundles of roses to the Furlong and Pogue families and helpers who arranged a Christmas dinner at the Miocene Community Centre.

More than 70 folks enjoyed an excellent turkey dinner and the congeniality. Many Thanks!

Roses to the gentleman who paid for our lunch at Joeys “just because it’s Christmas.” May your kindness return to you in many ways.
