On a beautiful Wednesday afternoon, June 3, 2009, Harvey Douglas , Western v.p. on behalf of the National AOTS Executive presented the D.R.Pool Memorial Trophy to the Minnedosa United Church Men's Club. This trophy is presented every two years at the National Bi-Annual conference to the most deserving A.O.T.S club from across Canada who has supported and helped the "Kids to camp program". The Minnedosa men have been very faithful in supporting the United Church Spirit Lake Camp program over the past 20 years with donations for all kinds of items and campership donations.
