Oatsie Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 This event is to assist in paying for donated, surplus fire, police and medical supplies being shipped from Canada to Lakeside. The funds are collected and dispersed by the "gringo" Lakeside Assistance Group. I received a PM asking.... "if this equipment was donated, why is there a need to raise money?" Instead of answering by PM, I am answering here, for everyone's information. The Fire, Medical and hopefully Police equipment is donated by various agencies in various Provinces in Canada. They don't pay to have the items shipped to Mexico so it costs approximately $4000 to have a shipping container sent to Lakeside. I'm not positive if the $4000 is USD or Canadian dollars.... but whatever.... it's expensive. Hence ... the fund raisers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
