Volunteer Drivers for Cancer driving patients to their treatments at different health facilities.
Came about after the demise of the driving program that the Cancer Society had offered. Due to the expense, the Cancer Society could no longer provide that service so Gordon and John took it upon themselves to for a new Society. They now have 90 registered drivers to take patients in and out from their treatments.

Lots of different opportunities for volunteer positions as support, admin, board members, coordinators, fund raisers.
Biggest area of need is financing – it is about $10,000 per month to pay all the volunteer drivers for just basic expense of gas and wear and tear at $.41 per km.
Meeting adjourned 8:30
