A little background on the Weekend & Family Peer Support Group.  Our Rotary Club has adopted this group of Delta adults with mental handicaps and we provide an annual Summer Picnic and a Christmas Dinner each year.

This group meets once per month for a social lunch event and 6 times per year that they distribute sundries to their members.  They had 27 members at their Jan 7 meeting and that number varies (can be as low as 12 persons with 27 being one of the better attended meetings).  Here are the Distribution Dates for Sundries:

Tuesday March 3

Tuesday May 5

Tuesday July 7

Tuesday Sept 8

Tuesday Nov 3

If you have anything you can donate (Viola has listed some suggested sundries below), please bring to any Rotary meeting prior to those dates and I will arrange to have items dropped off to Viola at the Sundance Inn on their meeting day every 2nd month.  They meet at the Sundance Inn at 6574 Ladner Trunk Road, Delta on the first Tuesday of each month.

Most of the persons in this group are living on their own and receive a disability pension but it is minimal.  This sundry program is a good way to help them stretch their income just a little bit.  Pleaes keep them in mind and if you come across sale items, maybe pick up an extra item to donate.

Suggested Items: Hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap, baking soda, S.O.S. pads, Mr Clean, toilet paper, hand cream, shampoo, rinse, combs, hairbrushes, toothpaste, tooth brushes, bandaids, wash cloths, tea towels, dish cloths, cleaning rags, pens, pencils, lined writing paper, birthday cards, Kleenex, any household items such as these
