Our 12th Annual Scrabble® Magic Fundraising Tournament raised more than
$9,000.00! Many thanks to all who pledged their support. All of the money raised will support our adult literacy programs. It was a great day at Intercity Mall and we'd like to congratulate our volunteers and the many participants who made it a success.

We'd like to thank our very dedicated group of volunteers who put a great deal of time and effort into the project every year: Al & Debbie Auger, Barry Beaupre and Bev Drew, Jean Fairbairn, Ursula Tannert, Judy Barton, Kim & Tristan Alexander and Kellyann Babey. We would also like to thank the local dignitaries and celebrities who participated in the "Celebrity Challenge". Their presence reflects their commitment to the community, and their belief in the importance of literacy programs. Finally, we say thank you to the companies that sponsored the tournament. We were very fortunate to have the generous support of the following sponsors:
The Chronicle Journal
Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board
Confederation College
Hasbro Canada Corporation
Intercity Shopping Centre
Bay Credit Union - sponsor of the student division RESP award
Lakehead Public Schools
Thunder Bay Telephone
Many thanks to the retailers of Intercity Shopping Centre and to the many businesses who donated prizes: Japan Camera, Safeway, Metro, The Keg, The Prospector, Thunder Bay Community Auditorium and Hulls Book Store - we appreciate your support!
And of course we say a big thank you to all the players - those that have played in the past and those who were first-timers this year. We couldn't have done it without you! We hope you had fun and will be playing again next year.
The 13th Annual Scrabble® Magic Tournament will be held Saturday, February 26th, 2011 at the Intercity Shopping Centre. Mark it in your calendars, and practise, practise, practise!
