The Rotary Club of Flin Flon has launched Operation Red Nose for another season.  Chair Ted Hewitt says the idea is to get people and their vehicles home safely when they’re out celebrating the Christmas season.  He says although the service is free they accept donations from people using the service, provincial organizations and local groups and businesses benefiting the community for 18 years.  He says they started in 1999 and it was brought to the Rotary Club by Doug O’Brien and in these 18 years they’ve raised close to 250 thousand dollars and given it to children’s activities and organized sports in the community.

Operation Red Nose starts next Friday and runs every Friday and Saturday until December 23 as well as Dec 29 and 31 and volunteers are still needed for those final three days.  You can find a form online at www.operationrednose.com, fill it out and take it to the RCMP office in Flin Flon or Creighton with two pieces of identification.
