Please write "Refugee Sponsorship Fund" on the lower left front of your cheque. Mail to "Tom Schwarzkopf, 3 Tripp Crescent, Nepean, K2J 1C5." As a Sponsorship Agreement Holder, Barrhaven United can issue tax receipts for eligible donations. (Questions? Call 613-535-2440)
Our kitchen was inspected and passed by the Health Unit last Friday. They would like to see volunteers take the Food Handlers course. The certification is valid for 5 years. Anyone willing to take the course please contact the office. We will attempt to arrange the course for a Saturday in January.
A heartfelt thank you to the Night Train Big Band for sponsoring and organizing this year's beautiful community Christmas meal. Thank you to the many volunteers for cooking, decorating, serving, cleaning and being a light in the community!
