Kelly Reid, Executive Director of the VOCM Cares Foundation recently announced a contribution of $500 towards the HUMANIMATION Workshop and the Nickel Children's Matinee on June 26, 2010 at 1 pm. Proceeds from this matinee will benefit the St. John's Boys and Girls Club.
The opening night screening of Nickel 10 brought with it greetings from Culture Minister Terry French and Canadian Heritage officer Ann Anderson and the special presentation of a lifetime festival pass to founder Roger Maunder. In accepting the sparkling token of appreciation for his work, Roger thanked the whole community for their support of the festival and encouraged others to get involved in the Nickels future. Then followed a 90-minute slate of short films that had the LSPU Hall capacity crowd buzzing at the after-show reception sponsored by Best Boy Productions.
