It was chosen from among the five councils that comprise District 70 in Durham Region. Officials at the Supreme Office recog- nized Immaculate Conception's willingness and ability to undertake and successfully com- plete ambitious projects that include fundraising for a wide variety of causes, said Mr. Gyokery. "For the size of our club, we do a lot of fundraising," he said.

The primary effort for the council over the past year and a half has been raising funds for a new church. The Immaculate Conception church on Hwy. 7A was destroyed in a spectacular fire in May of 1998. But many other com- munity organizations benefit from the club's largess, said Mr. Gyokery; they include Operation Scugog, Community Care, the Scouting program, Rose of Durham, and minor hockey. The club also hosts an annual basketball free throw competition for elementary school chil- dren, and contributes funds for Port Perry's annual Canada Day fire- works display. In addition, there are numerous requests for support during any given year, said Mr. Gyokery. "There's always some- one asking for support," he said. "Our budget for the year is $14,000." Their next major effort will be their annu- al 50/50 draw, with tick- ets going for $100. Early in the new year they'll start selling tickets for their big car draw.
