\nThe charity evening included a very successful silent auction, a photo booth by Trident Music of Brandon and entertainment by The Sean Taylor Band from Winnipeg. <\/p>\n

The auction prizes were organized and collected from Swan River businesses, MNU locals and generous businesses and people across Manitoba, Ontario and Alberta by nurses of Swan River Nurses Local #26. There were 37 auction packages (8 of which valued over $500), and a total of nearly $8,000 in prizes.<\/p>\n

$12,105.30 was donated to the Community Foundation of Swan Valley. The Manitoba Nurses Union Fund (unrestricted Fund) will be part of the Endowment Funds in perpetuity and a portion of the interest given out in a grant or grants to a worthwhile project or projects as approved by the granting committee of the Community Foundation of Swan Valley each year. <\/p>\n

This year the foundation has set the portion of interest to go to granting at 4% . This is set each year depending on the income from interest but has been within 1\/2% for years. There will be many Community Organizations in the Swan Valley that benefit from the MNU’s foresight forever. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
