Amanda Corrie and Chantelle Burgess attended the Bollywood Bang October 5, 2019. Both of these young women lost their mothers within a year of each other and with those tragic events their friendship became even stronger. Amanda and Chantelle had often spoken about the best way to honor their dear mothers. The Bollywood Bang event presented them both with an opportunity to make a donation to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation in memory of their mothers. Recently the two women met again at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital to be there for the installation of the fish that was in memory of Rose Malischewski & Angela DeRaine.
Enderby & District Lions Club have been in existence for over 72 years and have made a great impact on the community of Enderby through their community service. The Enderby & District Lions Club has raised funds with events such as their garage sales and childrens auctions. They have used those funds to build a swimming pool, ball fields and a gazebo in their community. They have also donated funds to assist the Shuswap Hospital Foundation for the purchase of much needed equipment at Shuswap Lake General Hospital. The Shuswap Hospital Foundation very much appreciates the strong support of the Enderby & District Lions Club and we thank them for their most generous donations.
First of all, the reason for any donation I’ve made to this hospital is it’s pay-back time for my frequent use of it’s facilities and the top-notch care provided!. said Alli Graham as she gave her reasons for becoming a Partner with the Shuswap Hospital Foundation. Alli was born in Chase March 10, 1924, her first three years were in Sqiulax, then Cambie, near Sicamous which was home from 1927 to early 1952. Alli worked at several temporary jobs in early adulthood and by early 1952 after the death of both parents in 1943 and 1950 she had to leave for lack of resources. On January 1, 1953 Alli began as housekeeper for Floyd Graham, a divorced man with 3 children who were aged 11, 8 and 6. The Graham era became permanent with their marriage in December of 1955 and two more children were born January 1957 and May 1958. With Floyd’s retirement as railway engineer in 1980, Floyd and Alli moved back to Cambie and in September 1999, due to failing health Alli & Floyd acquired a condo unit in mid Sicamous. Floyd passed away suddenly on January 1st 2007 and Alli spent time learning a new style of life alone, new social life, new friends. Alli wrote a book called ‘Life Is What Happens’ which provides a wonderful history of her 94 years here in the Shuswap. At the Shuswap Hospital Foundation we are so very grateful for the most generous support of Alli Graham.
