WFRC excited about Teddy Bear Picnic, their biggest fundraiser of the year

The annual Winkler Family Resource Centre (WFRC) Teddy Bear Picnic is just around the corner, and Chantal Human wants you and your family to come by the Winkler Park on June 8th to see what it's all about.

"Kids get to come by with their stuffed animals and they meet with different medical professionals in the area and their stuffed animals get a full check up to make sure they're good and healthy. In the meantime, kids are getting familiar with these professionals so that way when they go to their checkups, they they feel comfortable." Chantal continued, "Make these bonds so that it's not so scary when you go to the doctor or the dentist."

This event is always a popular one for families, and it's also a very important event for the WFRC.

"This is the one that brings in the most proceeds for us, which is super important because we're going into the fall with a strategic plan to figure out, you know, 'what does Winkler need more of for their families?' So, proceeds from this help us to to do all those things that are needed."

Bring the stuffie for a check up, grab a bite to eat and (hopefully) enjoy some nice weather. Rain location is the Emmanuel Mennonite Church. Full details on the poster below
