By Steve Schmidt iane Daigle-Dinel is still going strong! After co-organizing a fundraising dinner and dance that raised $11,963.59 for the Chapleau Firefighter Association, she realized that the simple act of collecting people's empties and driving them to Timmins, Folyet or anywhere else large amounts of empties could be redeemed, could both keep the empties out of the landfill and raise money
D
for local good causes. She vowed to keep at it. We last reported that every time she had raised $500, she intended to go online and spin a wheel to select from a list of local good causes. Last week, that's just what she did - live on the Chapleau Community Bulletin Board on Facebook. The winner of her first spin was the Royal Canadian Legion #5 here in Chapleau. Accepting $500 on behalf of the
Legion was Alex Lambruschini. The local Legion is certainly a worthy first recipient. Stay tuned to see which local organization wins next. If you would like to contribute, you can contact Diane DaigleDinel through Facebook Messenger or drop off your empties at her home at 184 Martel Road. She will spin the wheel as soon as she has raised another $500 from returned empties - and another local good cause will get a well deserved boost.
