The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville. July 2. 1997 Page 3 "Creating Futures" Fundraising Office Opens in Bowmanville by Lorraine Manfredo Slalf Writer The Clarington- Norlluimberland fundraising office for Durham College's $12 million "Creating Futures" campaign opened last week in Bowmanville. The enthusiastic team of volunteers are committed to raising $1 million towards the dream of a top-notch University Centre in Oshtnvn.
