\u201cI have to say honestly I was super overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone especially those that have of their time,\u201d said organizer Maureen Fedorus. \u201cJune Feswick, a fellow Beaver Banker, and Roberta Hibbert really came through for me. I had never met June before in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
