Thank you once again to everyone who came and supported us at our 2nd Interior Savings Moonlight Movie Night!
This week, even more people showed up for the fun! We were so impressed with our volunteers and sponsors for making the event run so smoothly!
Our next Movie Night is on August 24th at Riverside Park so be sure to bring your blankets and lawn chairs! As it is later in the season, we are expecting this movie to start a bit earlier so make sure you come early to stake out your spot!
We are looking forward to seeing you all in August!

1st Moonlight Movie Night Success!
Wow! If you were not at Riverside Park last Wednesday for Movie Night, make sure you don't miss it this week! For those of you who haven't heard about it, Interior Savings has teamed up with the Boys and Girls Club to raise funds for our Power Start Program (please see website for details). Fun and exciting movies are played on a giant inflatable screen, paired with popcorn, juice, face-painting and games! Attendance is by donation: suggested $3.00 per person or $10.00 per family!
The park was filled to the brim with people laughing and having a good time. Families came from all over Kamloops to enjoy the festivities and to relax in the beautiful Riverside Park on a cool summer evening. Games such as three-legged race, egg-on-spoon and the crowd fav junk in the trunk and face-painting started at 7pm for the kids (and any adults who wanted to participate!). When the movie started right at dusk, there were well over 1,000 people there! This event raised over $2,000 for our Power Start program - Thanks to everyone who attended the event and to everyone who donated!!
On Wednesday the July 20th, we will be showing Rio and expect to have even more people attending so hopefully we can reach $3,000 this time! The popcorn will be flowing and the glowsticks will be dancing!
We hope to see you there - there are only 2 movie nights left!

“The 2nd Annual Slicing 4 Dollar$ Golf Tournament Deemed a Success: Thank You To All Who Participated!”
With the sun shining and a warm breeze in the air, Pineridge golf course was the site of a perfect afternoon for a golf tournament. We would like to send out a special thank you to the staff at Pineridge for being such wonderful and gracious hosts for our Second Annual Slicing 4 Dollar$ Golf Tournament on June 10, 2011 .
This afternoon of great golf and wonderful food brought in over $5000.00 for the Power Start program at the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops. This couldn’t have been done without all the time and energy put in by Invis The Brenda Colman Team. Lisa, Brenda, Adam and Jeremy put in an exceptional amount of time and energy to make this golf tournament the success that it was. Thank you so much! A special thanks to Jeremy and Adam for all their additional effort and help. It was greatly appreciated.
We would like to thank all our hole sponsors including: Volkswagen Kamloops for their donation of a brand new 2011 Jetta as a hole-in-one prize. Merix, Urban Systems, MCAP, Daimion Applegath, CIFM, The Kamloops Daily News, Derek Smoluk, Benjamin Moore Paint, Invis, Team Colman for their donation of $20,000.00 as a hole-in-one prize, Frick n’ Frack, Frilan Appraisals, Gary Woitas & Associates, Pink with Envy, Kamloops Harley Davidson, Best Western Plus for their donation of $10,000.00 as a hole-in-one prize, and Underwraps Advertising. 
We would also like to send a special thanks to all of our door prize donors. Every golfer walked away with at least one prize! And to our volunteers: for donating their time and smiles to this great event!
Slicing 4 Dollar$ is not only a fun and relaxing afternoon of great people, good food, and wonderful prizes, it is a day of change; a day to make a difference. The money raised at this tournament was allocated to the Power Start program, which removes barriers for children to be successful in schoool.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible!! We hope to see you all again next year!
