"The support for Fort McMurray residents has been incredible!  I have heard from District Governors right across Canada and in parts of the United States.  All are involved in fundraising efforts and have raised some pretty incredible amounts of money.  We know that a lot of money is being raised through ATB donations (see below) but we will not have an amount until June 21, 2016 when the money is transferred to the District 5370 Charitable Foundation.  We will be sure to keep you informed.  Last week we partnered with the Alberta Pork Producers Association to receive money from their big event “Porkapalooza” June 17-19, 2016.  We will not know until later today exactly what our role will be but I understand that we will need help selling 50/50 tickets as well as telephone volunteers.  Please let your members know to save the dates and I will follow up with final details once we have them.
 
Encourage your club members, friends and relatives to support Fort McMurray by donating to the District 5370 Charitable Foundation Fort McMurray Fire Relief Fund.  You can send a cheque to the district office or you can donate online through Alberta Treasury Branch and add 15% to your donation https://atbcares.com/bcart/add/cause/124-889886024RR0001"
