“There were over $1,280 in cash raised and there were over three ‘crams’ of the cruiser during this fundraiser,” said Cpl. Nancy Joyce of the Bowen Island RCMP. “It was very effective. Rotary Club of Bowen Island members were in attendance to help with the event and make it a successful one.” Joyce added that she encourages islanders to continue donating to the Food Bank during the summer. “They will need support throughout the year,” she said.
