We would like to express our deep gratitude to the Auger family for their donation of $20,000 to the 400CLUB in memory of their beloved Kim. This generous gift was delivered on Kim's birthday. She would have been 59. Kim was a delightful, valued member of our club for 6 years. She touched every one of us deeply with her bright eyes, ready smile and willingness to try anything. Kim loved music and dancing, often the first to jump to her feet when a favourite song came on. This donation will enhance the day-to-day running of the club, allowing us to offer vital, meaningful and fun experiences for all who attend. Kim's spirit will live on through this wonderful gift.
