Tonight the participants of the local Katimavik group (who are coming up on the end of thier time in our community) challenged the basketball teams from MCI to a game ... The proceeds from the game and the concession were being donated to our rebuilding project.
A good time was had by all ... the Katimavik gang played a good game, had fun and even made more then just a couple awesome plays. A couple of sweet three pointers rounded off the score nicel. The MCI Chancellors put up a good fight, but the score board says they lost by 8 points (and we ALL know that score boards don't lie, and scores aren't swapped by caring time keepers !!!)
It was all good. It was all in fun. And it was a wonderful gathering of the generations ... from 2 to 92, people of all ages were in the gym to watch the game and join in the cheering.
At the end of the night the Student Council of MCI and the Katimavik crew had raised 621 dollars that will be added to our growing donation list for the rebuilding.
The score wasn't as important as the gesture - Katimavik means "meeting place" in Inuit - tonight the youth and the Katimavik participants gave us a whole new meaning of "meeting place." Thanks to Karen and all the participants of Katimavik, and the students of MCI and TCS who came out and helped make the evening possible ...
