Your Board also approved a $5000 donation to Shelter Box Canada to provide 4 boxes to assist in earthquake relief in Myanmar and Thailand. These funds came from the budgeted $20k Board Discretionary Fund. To date $9500 of that amount has been spent including this donation. 

 

Thank you to PP Duncan for taking your President and Hal and our Exchange Student Lisa on a tour of the North Shore. Duncan is an historian of all things Island and we all enjoyed the tour and lunch at Finn Folk Restaurant very much.
