Mainstreet's Ultimutts Dog Show raises $2, 200 Goderich, ON- On May 8, Mainstreet Credit Union presented the Ultimutts Stunt Dog Show at the Memorial Arena in Goderich as a fundraising event for the Alexandra Marine General Hospital's neonatal and obstetrics program. $2200 was raised at the event to support local health care. The four -legged entertain- ers put on two fun -filled shows for the cheering audience. The performance included the amazing canines riding scooters and skateboards, jumping rope, a basketball dunking com- petition and tight rope walking. Following the show, the audience was invited to meet each of the performers up close and personal. "Mainstreet is so pleased to put on an event that families and the com- munity could enjoy, while also investing in and ben- efiting local health-care" shares Mainstreet Presi- dent and CEO, Janet Grantham. "The Foundation is very grateful for the support of community minded busi- nesses like Mainstreet Credit Union. Their dona tions help us keep quality health care close to home" shared Shannon LaHay, AMGH Foundation Coordinator.

The Friendship Games, formerly known as the Spe- cial Olympics, hosted a total of ten different schools to the event. The event including ten schools resulted in roughly seventy participants in all age divisions; from primary elementary students, to sen- ior high school students. They participated in competitive, non-competi- tive and ongoing fun activities mapped out inside the school building, due to the poor weather conditions available outside. Nonetheless, all volun- teers and participants wore big smiles and eager hearts as they participated indoors. There were many coordi- nators, who worked hard since the beginning of Janu- ary to plan the event along- side Administrative Staff member Janice Shore. The group of coordinators consisted of Gwyneth Pella, Owen Dulong, Kennedy Thom and Lizzy McDonald. This year was especially exciting for the students, as there were new t -shirt designs, volunteers were assigned a new role as moti- vators and newly created events brought more excite- ment to the unsuspecting participants. Nothing but fun and cheers could be seen and heard at the event, making the day another successful and proud time for our local Vikings. A big thank you is sent out to all who participated in competing, volunteer- ing and supporting such a significant and successful day. The students at GDCI look forward to planning the Friendship Games for many years to come.
