It is with regret the Family Resource Centre of Invermere had to make the decision to postpone the fundraiser for the women’s shelter – Copper Point Resort FRC Chinese New Year Gala 2013 – due to lack of community support.

With ticket sales at 15 per cent one week from the event, the FRC Board of Directors and Gala Committee agreed to postpone the event and return the financial and product donations to the generous sponsors in the Valley.

Refunds for tickets purchased can be made at the location where they were purchased or the Family Resource Centre. Please watch for further information as we work to organize another event to support our women’s shelter services. Please do not hesitate to call Pat Cope at 250-342-5566 for further information.
