The Acadia Valley Community Club hosted a fashion show in May of this year. It was decided that proceeds would be donated to Halo. As we all know, Halo is a very important service for our community and surrounding areas. The Fashion show made a profit of around $3500. The Community Club decided to top it off by making it a donation of $5000. Rachelle Skappak and Crystal Traub present Halo with the cheque at their office in Medicine Hat. Thank you to everyone who supported the fashion show and made this fundraiser such a huge success!
