At the last general Interact meeting on Friday, January 21st, guest speaker, Bev Friesen, from “Wigs for Kids” gave a passionate presentation about their organization and what they do. All the students at the meeting were touched by the stories of children affected by cancer that Bev had to share. “Wigs for Kids” will be holding a fundraising event at the Hennessy Hair Salon at Richmond Centre from 11:am – 6:00pm on Sunday, January 30th where people could donate their hair or simply get a haircut and all proceeds went to the Wigs for Kids charity.
