Planning Committee Coordinator Tony Taylor says the weekend went smoothly:

"We had 37 rides, we raised $587.20 and we took 81 passengers home safely. We’ll be doing it up again this Friday and Saturday, and as always we’re looking for more volunteers so if you’d like to get a hold of us, you can reach us at ORNthompson@outlook.com or you can just search us on facebook by punching in Operation Red Nose Thompson".

 

If you need a ride, you can give them a call at 778-8111.
