As you can imagine with our current environment there is a difficulty in raising funds and an increase in demand for our funds and services in the community. We are initiating a special program that I hope you can participate in. Since we have been NOT holding our luncheons since March 23rd and perhaps not until July, how about contributing $30 per weekly lunch you have at home to our club up to a total of $360. Hence the name; Lunch @ Home. All donations will be met with a Tax Receipt.
There are some causes we have commitments this spring that we are planning to undertake:
1. Smoking Cessation Equipment to the Boyle McCauley Health Centre $1800
2. Replacement of our office computer which "crashed" at the end of March $2500
3. Desire to donate to local agencies under stress in these Covid-19 times, such as Boyle McCauley Health Centre, Edmonton Food Bank, School hot lunch programs. (once they return if not food hampers)”
It would really be nice to hire Geeta our Office Administrator back again sometime this spring to catch up on Accounting and other office admin tasks and be ready once luncheons commence again.
How to contribute:
1. Submit a cheque for up to $360 and mail to the address given below. Or leave a letter with the Hotel Doorman.
2. Go to EdmontonRotary.com and scroll down near the bottom looking for the ATB Cares. (or go to https://www.atbcares.com/
Select "Rotary Club of Edmonton Community Service Trust"
Tight for money? That would be certainly understandable. Send me a note to set up a reoccurring donation according to your wishes.
