Winnipeg Model Railroad Club donates $1,800 to St. Amant

WMRC treasurer John Bate presents a cheque to St. Amant Director Juliette Trudeau Mucha.

The Winnipeg Model Railroad Club is pleased to announce that they have presented a donation of $1,800 to St. Amant. The WMRC has always been a strong believer in community stewardship. St. Amant has been the charity of choice of the club for the past six years.

The club has raised $9,300 to date to provide meaningful life experiences for children and adults with developmental disabilities and autism. The money donated to St. Amant was raised through money raised from our annual train show and open house, and from our participation in the Manitoba Mega Train Show. 

Winnipeg Model Railroad club presents a cheque to St. Amant at December's meeting

   WMRC Treasurer Gary Stempnick presents a donation to St. Amant's Juliette Trudeau Mucha at the club's meeting in December at the Charleswood Legion.

   The WMRC was honoured by the presence of St. Amant's Juliette Trudeau Mucha at our last meeting. Juliette presented a short video showcasing the wonderful work of St. Amant and was given a cheque from the club.

   The donation the club gave to St. Amant represents a portion of the proceedings of the money earned from September's Manitoba Mega Train Show. The club also donates a portion of the money earned at their annual spring open house to St. Amant. In 2013, St. Amant had a large display at the spring open house. Many volunteers from St. Amant were present at the show to promote the work the organization does in the community.

   The WMRC is a not-for-profit organization and it is also a charity-minded organization. We have had St. Amant as our charity of choice for about two years, and we are delighted to have chosen such a worthwhile and hard working organization.
