Western Financial Group Cooks Up Money For Sheep River Library

On a warm and sunny September day the Western Financial crew in Turner Valley held a customer appreciation BBQ. Gary, from Turner Valley Golf Course donated his time and equipment to fill the air with the aroma of burgers cooking on the BBQ as the Foothills Lions Club set up the tables and chairs.
It wasn’t long before customers were joined by passers-by lured by the delicious smells.
By the end of the day $750 had been donated to the ‘burger fest’. Western Financial in turn donated this money to the Sheep River Library.
In a surprise gesture this week James Hall, Branch Manager of Turner Valley Western Financial office donated an additional $500 to Holly Quan, Chair of the Friends of Sheep Library Society. James explained that Western Financial has a charitable arm, the Western Communities Foundation that matches donations to non-profit community groups on a dollar to dollar basis up to $500.
Holly was thrilled to accept the donation which will go towards future programs at the library.
