A member of the Melfort Kinsmen Club is sharing his unique and personal reflections on Telemiracle 45 and the success of the telethon.
Rodney White was on the main stage phones for the finale of the broadcast on phone number one, which he found to be a great honour.
“That phone rings all of the time, so when I was on the stage for the final set of 40 minutes, it was non-stop,” White said. “It goes to show the support of Telemiracle 45.”
Another highlight from the weekend was being on the receiving end of a very special pledge earlier on Sunday.
SASKATOON TeleMiracle 45 kicked off Saturday night and despite a pandemic, the phones rang loud and donations poured in. “As we speak right now the event is going very well. We’re amazed every year how much Saskatchewan gives,” said Kinsmen Kinettes Telemiracle 45 Chair Brian Angstadt. The 20-hour telethon featured Saskatchewan talent from across the province hosted by Andrea Menard, Brad Johner, and Beverley Mahood. Several people within the Saskatchewan community popped into the show including Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Cody Fajardo. “On behalf of Laura, myself and the Rider program we are going to donate $287.” Estevan-born Chris Henderson took the stage as well as Jess Moskaluke from Langenburg, who sang her hit Country Girls.

Literally couldn’t stop. Then realized there was one I always meant to watch and hadn’t, so I went into Breaking Bad.
