Weekly meeting - March 3, 2016

 

 

This week meeting we invited the representative of two organizations which are supported by the club out of Bingo earnings. 

 

Elain told the members that Toronto Foundation for Student Success (TFSS) founded in 1998 with a mission to provide proper nutrition to the children in schools. SHe said that in 1998 they served almost 11000 meals everyday which is now jumped to 170000 meals across the city. She also briefed the audience about the efforts TFSS is making to improve the health care for the needy students. Elain concluded her presentation by thanking the club members for their continued support.

 

While inviting Meagan our elect President briefed the members about the Drop in program of the Church of Redeemer which is providing the safe community space  in Toronto for marginalized, homeless and socially isolated people. 

 

Megan began her talk by sharing a story about a regular participant named James, who has the Bipolar disorders. Due to his health condition he completely lost all his trust and almost ended all the relationships and was too scared to talk to anyone. Eventually over the period of time it was discovered that he is trained as a Chef. James started working as a Chef in kitchen and become a useful member of the organization. So the People who come to Redeemer not only physically hungry but their soul is hungry too and it is the job of society to rebuild their employment history.

 

She conclude her presentation by appreciating the club saying "You are a small but a mighty club"
