HELPING OUT CLB FNR Helping out The TB Cancer & Health Association recently received an anonymous donation to make up for the $200 stolen from their Pembroke office.

Last Tuesday, a thief grabbed an envelope containing the cash and raffle ticket stubs while staff members were engaged.

The funds were supposed to go toward taking diabetic children to a summer camp in the US.

Although most ticket buyers were able to obtain replacement stubs, the missing money has not yet been recovered.

Association director of public relations and education Teresa Cameron said: "We are extremely grateful for the help to TB from the anonymous donor. Their gift is truly appreciated.'' EDUCATION ED CRIME CRM
