Eston Community Handbells give back to the community
Pam Kosolofski and Pat Johnston of the Eston Community Handbells presented a number of donations to various groups and organizations. The Eston Community Handbells wanted to give back all the funds they had raised from the sale of the handbells and hand chimes and funds from over the years as the community had given such tremendous support since 1999 when the group was first incorporated.
The Eston Community Handbells presented a donation of $8,000.00 to the Wheatland Plus 50 Club President, Lorne and treasurer Doreen Hewitson (pictured from l-r). Pam Kosolofski and Dianne Anderson made the presentation. This was just one of many generous donations the Eston Community Handbells made to organizations in the community.
