PGSO Receives Major Donation from Brink Forest Products
The President of Brink Forest Products Ltd., Mr. John Brink, today
presented the Prince George Symphony Orchestra Society with a cash donation
of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00). Mr. Brink presented the $5,000 cheque
to Ms Roberta Williams, President of the PGSO Society at a brief ceremony at
the Brink Forest Products manufacturing plant this afternoon.
In making the presentation, Mr. Brink said, “We are a rich,
culturally diverse community because of organizations like the Prince George
Symphony Orchestra. This institution should be important to all of us in Prince
George, whether we’re personally fond of symphonic music or not.”
“It’s important for business, industry and professionals to support
the arts. The overall image of Prince George is enhanced as a result.”
PGSO President Roberta Williams said the symphony is very grateful
to John Brink and his company for such a substantial donation – as well
as to the company’s financial guarantee that made the annual PGSO truck
raffle possible. “Without the financial guarantee, we might have never
been able to hold a raffle. We’re fortunate to receive generous backing
from such a community-spirited company”, added Ms Williams.
John Brink says it’s vital we maintain a well-rounded community.
He points out that Prince George’s current challenge of recruiting medical
professionals, new businesses and corporate investment is made much easier with
a wide range of cultural, sports and educational facilities.
