7th Annual Souper Bowl for United Way
Thanks to staff, students and the community, the 7th Annual ‘Souper Bowl’ Luncheon, Bake Sale and Raffle raised over $1,400 for Northumberland United Way. The event was held on November 10th at Fleming’s Cobourg Campus and organized by Fleming College staff in partnership with Community Living and the Help Centre.
For $7, patrons enjoyed a bowl of hot homemade soup, a dinner roll with butter and a bottle of water. A bake sale table overflowed with delectable desserts. A Bistro area offered a place for customers to dine in style while they listened to live entertainment provided by Vice President Academic Blane Harvey.
An amazing team of Fleming College volunteers donated their time and energy to make soup, chili and baked goods, help with set-up and run the event. Lending a hand were Fleming staff and students from Academic Upgrading, Esthetician, Food Service Worker, 911 Operator and Solar Installation and Maintenance programs.
Raffle prizes were donated by local businesses including Dutch Oven Catering and Chartwells (Peterborough). Fleming Esthetician Program Co-ordinator Tracy Partridge donated an Essentials spa packages prize.
A special thank you to the fundraiser planning team — David Palmer (The Help Centre), Jenn Lean (Community Living), Pat Sheldrick, Beth Bellaire, Colleen Johnston, Tracey Partridge and Karen Foster (Fleming College).
