On Tuesday, March 3, 1914, a Whist Drive, under the auspices of the 102nd Rocky Mountain Rangers' "B" Company, was held at the drill hall, in Kamloops. The netted funds were turned over to aid the Baby Summer Camp at Fish Lake, within a couple of weeks.
For St. Patrick's Day, the ladies of the Kamloops Social Club held an afternoon tea and evening of dancing, at the Italian Band Hall, on Seymour Street. This function was a financial success and the group handed the Baby Camp committee $25.00.
The Baby Camp, at Fish Lake was in operation, in July, and accommodation was available.
(Note: With the onset of World War I, Kamloops Press Ltd., began printing both the "Kamloops Daily Standard" and its bi-weekly paper. It appears that not all issues of the paper were available for microfilming.)
