Great Work Teri and Meg and Bob
Teri, Meg and Bob had a fundraising BBQ a few weekends ago. It was a joint fundraiser for Breast Cancer Research, and for ALS Research.
They raised over $600 on a cold and windy spring day. Awesome job. Thank you!

A note from Heather to all of us
Wednesday evening the sanctuary of Glen Morris United Church was filled with friends and supporters of Heather. We were treated to a wonderful hour of Christmas music performed by the Laurier Singers of Wilfred Laurier University.
They broke away from their usual repertoire to delight the audience with seasonal favourites and even a sing-along carol! Wee Mary Murdock presented Heather with her “birthday pennies” and asked that we “keep hope alive”. This year for her birthday, Mary asked her friends to bring a donation for Dr.Strong to her party instead of birthday gifts. She turned 4 at the end of November. A remarkable child, and so sweet!
The melodies were sublime and the refreshments provided afterwards were divine! Chocolate balls and sugar cookies and cider for all. Merry Christmas Dr.Strong-we’re sending you another $2500.00:) Sadly, no limobus this time!!!! Hahaha!
For music of a tuneful heart,
For sunlight that gives day its’ start
For friends and those we love so true
We raise our humble thanks to You.
For cookies and a cup of cheer
For Christmas mem’ries we hold dear
For stars that shine on earth so bright
We turn our hearts to You, our Light.
Merry Christmas to you!
