Kindale is set to celebrate a milestone.

The Armstrong based group that helps people with disabilities turns 60 next year.

Kindale will be launching the year long celebration with a V-I-P “Diamond Premier” event on October 13th.

Joining in the gala will be Venue Host and Diamond sponsor Pat Loehndorf, an advocate for stepping up and helping many non profits with their fundraising endeavours.

“It has been fun planning for this event and putting together some things that have not been seen at other events. I am looking forward to helping Kindale continue with the good work that they do for people in the community where I live, work and play,” says Loehndorf.

Deb White, a Ruby sponsor, says her business, White House Mortgages is proud to support the Kindale Developmental Association and the Diamond Premier Fundraiser.

“Kindale works hard to advocate for people with diverse abilities so that they can live their dream lives in an inclusive community. We proudly support the hard work of all the staff and volunteers at Kindale.”

Organizers says guests will be tantalized by executive chef hors d’oeuvres from the culinary team at Pretium Catering, tasty delights from Okanagan Spirits and dancing
with The Legendary Lake Monsters.

“Kindale is thrilled to be celebrating this significant milestone and is grateful to the organizers, sponsors and guests who are supporting the Diamond Premier – Together We DO make a difference,” says Cindy Masters, Development Officer at Kindale.

There are a limited number of VIP registrations available, with information on the Kindale website @ www.kindale.net or contacting Ruth Blencoe at (250) 546-3005.
