Fundraising Dinner 2013
The fundraising dinner on October 19th was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who helped make it the most successful dinner we’ve had. Susan and a team of volunteers did an amazing job ensuring everyone had a delicious meal, with great presentations on what the society has been doing this past year and what they are planning for the future.
We will be providing more updates on the dinner along with photos in the coming weeks, so make sure you stay tuned!
Need A Creative Idea For Your Next Party?
Host a Shipping Container Party!
Ask your friends and family to bring items to be donated to our new Container Project. Items we need most are medical supplies (such as Tylenol, Polysporin, Aspirin, etc), new or gently used clothing for children up to age 15, and a variety of non-electronic tools (including gardening tools).
Jane from Vernon recently hosted a Medical Party for her 60th birthday (for guests to donate medicine) and even invited her guests to wear their best (or silliest) hats to be judged in a Best Hat Contest!
Thanks Jane and Greg for your wonderful donations!
We're Sending A Shipping Container to Zimbabwe!
And we need your help to fill it full of desperately-needed supplies!
We need to collect enough items to fill a 40-foot shipping container by mid-September, so that it can be sent to Zimbabwe in January 2014. If you’ve been waiting to do your Spring Cleaning or love getting great deals at Garage Sales, please consider donating to our cause!
The list of items we need is on our website (click here to view our Container Project page) and as items start coming in we will update the list. Susan is available to collect items; please contact her to arrange a time and place to drop off your donations.
All the items we collect will be benefitting the various programs we support in Zimbabwe, from building schools to teaching farming methods, and the container will be converted into a Community Library where locals can have a quiet place to read and children can do their homework.
Thanks everyone for your continued support!
