In just one week, residents of Saskatchewan will be asked to ‘ring those phones’ for Telemiracle 45.
The telethon will look different this year as will many community fundraisers. The Melfort Kinsmen and Kinettes are sticking to a tried-and-true fundraiser that is also COVID-19-friendly.
Kinette member Jackie McConaghy told northeastNOW the business community stepped up to sponsor sending a colourful toilet to other businesses around Melfort this week.

“When the toilet is delivered to the gifted business, they get a chance to send it to another for a small donation,” McConaghy said. “As of Friday morning, 20 businesses had signed up to participate.”
Kinsmen and Kinette groups in Saskatchewan are in full fundraising mode ahead of Telemiracle 45.
With the restrictions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been a difficult year to raise funds for clubs as well as the telethon.
Melfort Kinettes Treasurer Nancy Hamilton said the group has a pancake breakfast coming up this Sunday with the help of RJ’s Urban Garden.
“It is a curbside pick-up for being COVID-19 friendly and we are working on some other little projects for Telemiracle too,” Hamilton said.
Pre-orders for breakfast are being accepted until the end of the day on Wednesday by texting or calling 306-281-2843.
