Dear Editor,
Caring Circle would like to extend our deep gratitude to the Bowen Island Community Foundation for their generous donation to our Connections Program which is being launched this month.
You will see an article in this week’s Undercurrent about this program and you will also receive a rack card in your mail that you can keep if you think you might ever need this service.
This visiting program is not just for isolated elders, who might seem to be the most likely user of this program.
There are also young moms who find it difficult to get out of the house with their new baby, or people recovering from surgery who are restricted to their homes.
So if you would just like someone to drop in for a cup of tea and a chat or to play cards or work on a puzzle or some other social activity, give us a call.
This is the pre-Christmas season when the Community Foundation reaches out asking for consideration to be given to their work when you’re making decisions about charitable giving.
Our program is just one of the worthwhile projects they have funded this year and we are such a lucky community to have such a dedicated group of Islanders working for the benefit of all of us on Bowen.
With gratitude,
Colleen O’Neil
Program Director of Caring Circle
