Money was refunded without any cost to the club. "Normally we'd be halfway through our soccer schedule. We love running it, and yes, it is a major fundraiser for us. We still hope to run the program in the fall, if health officials give youth sports clearance to begin," continued McGregor. Recently, organizers of the annual International Plowing Match and Rural Expo -- at which the club had hoped to raise some funds -- announced the event was postponed to 2021. "So, I guess overall, we have been financially impacted by COVID, but we haven't been sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves. We know others have been hit much harder than us. We will find new ways to raise funds and continue to contribute to the community," said McGregor, pointing out members unanimously supported a $11,400 donation to the Kawartha Lakes Food Source in March. "We continue to meet and discuss other ways to help contribute to youth in these unprecedented days ... Oh, and we continue to accept new members into the club."
