Hello Everyone
Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend before the hot humid weather arrives.
Our meeting on June 26th will be our last before we break for summer holidays. We will resume our monthly meetings on September 25th.
We will be combining our regular meeting with the celebration of the March of Dimes’s Step Up For Stroke fundraiser. The total donations that we collect are split, 70% to our chapter & 30% to MOD’s After Stroke Programs.
I have acquired a special event parking permit for the north lot of the Lions Club. There will be barriers set up so there will be lots of parking spots for everyone.
I have confirmation that 3 very special guests will be joining us . Mayor Marianne Meed Ward, MP North Oakville/Burlington Natalie Pierre and the Honourable MP Karina Gould.
Anyone who wishes to donate online, here is the direct link to our team. You can choose a Team Member or the Whole Team to donate to.
Automatic tax receipts will be issued to your email. Cash & cheque donation will be collected at the meeting. MOD will issue tax receipts for anything over $20. It may take 4-6 weeks to process these donations.
The online link will stay open until July 31St . Any cash or cheque donations after the 26th meeting can be mailed or brought in person to Debbie Butler 502-3055 Glencrest Rd, Burlington, ON, L7N 2H4 Cell: (905) 599-8332 New St & Guelph Line area.
Please call for a mutual time to get together.
There is no pressure or obligation to donate money to our chapter. Everyone is welcome to come and just celebrate with us.
