Jonathon Naylor Editor One caring teen's legacy continues to live on through the Cailie Rae Church Memorial Bursary Fund. Last month, Travis Church of Swan River accepted a $2,500 as winner of the Fund's 50/50 draw. This past June, the Fund also awarded a $1,000 bursary to Carissa Zoerb upon her graduation from Hapnot Collegiate. The recipient of another $500 bursary, for a Grade 9 student, will be named at Hapnot's upcoming undergraduate awards ceremony. The Fund awards a bursary to a Hapnot Collegiate graduate pursuing a career in the performing arts. Each year it also covers instrument rental fees for a needy band student at the high school. Cailie Rae Church is remembered as a kind, caring young woman. She was just 15 when she lost her life in an automobile accident in August 2010. Not only was Cailie a member of Ham Sandwich, she was also part of Dinner Theatre and band at Hapnot, played the piano, took guitar lessons and sang with her friends. This past summer, friends and family of Cailie's gathered at The Orange Toad for a coffee house to celebrate the teen's life and raise money for the Fund. Virtually all of the entertainers on hand knew Cailie. In a beautiful collection basket, attendees dropped donations toward the Fund. Fittingly, guests dined on some of Cailie's favourite desserts, fondly prepared by The Orange Toad.
