Fundraising Event Held To Help Typhoon Victims In The Philippines

Recently celebrated in Valleyview was the 5th Multicultural Christmas Party held at the Paradise Inn & Suites last December 17th. It was a night of fun and laughter as each and everyone participated in the activities. Mayor of Valleyview Vern Lymburner was also there to grace the occasion. There wee 66 attendees that night.

On that same night, a devastating typhoon had been ravaging the Philippines. To date, the number of casualties has already reached the 1,000 mark and hundreds are still missing. This is considered the deadliest cyclone that hit the country in the last 12 years.

That night they were able to raise $288 CAD. It was donated to the Philippine Red Cross. The project was spearheaded by Grace De Luna.
