As springtime rolls around again, it is time for this year's Faces of Gateway Fundraising Gala. The event is planned for Thursday, May 2nd at the Emmanuel Mennonite Church in Winkler.

Director of Day Services Tim Hamp and the Director of Human Resources Julie Douma joined the Morning Show to tell us about the fundraising event. Douma says the gala is about seeing the community and learning about Gateway.

"We will have some presentations from some of the participants that we have as well as our staff and of course enjoy a lovely dinner. We want to share what Gateway has been up to in the last year and also all the exciting changes that we've had and the growth that we've had."

Throughout the evening guests will get to meet and learn more about the people that Gateway supports. Hamp shared the importance of getting these faces out there.

"We have a wide variety of people that we support in a wide variety of positions throughout our program. People will probably see this on a regular basis out in the community, picking up recycling and thing like that. But we are so much broader than that and we offer a variety of services to a variety of people."
