I just want to thank the people of Deer Park for their support. On Saturday, April 4, we had a bottle drive. I was amazed at the generosity of people with their bottles and cash. This is what makes Red Deer such a great place to call home. The kids had fun meeting new people and seeing who collected the most bottles. The money raised goes to a great cause and brings kids and parents together in a fun environment. Thanks again, Deer Park.Rael LynnRed Deer 24th Beavers
