Theresa Clement, a recipient of an Inspired Women鈥檚 Award and a Rotary Club of Courtenay Award, shared her gratitude with donors at a recent awards reception in Courtenay.
鈥淲hen I found out I had received a bursary, it literally brought tears to my eyes,鈥� said Clement. 鈥淭he thought of someone lending such a massive hand to me was overwhelming. On behalf of all of the students who received assistance from donors, thank you. Without your contribution, many of the students you see in this room today, myself included, would not have the means to work toward a better life for ourselves and be able to give back in the future.鈥�
