 District Seven Service Newsletter 2022-2023– Heart Beat – Volume 7

Hello again.  At our last District Executive Meeting a number of things came up so I decided to send a special edition of Heartbeat to bring clubs up to date.

PRESIDENT CHATS

One of the goals I set for myself for this year was to chat with all the Presidents in District 7. My objective was to learn what makes our District so great.  So far I’ve been overwhelmed by the ways you are improving the quality of life in your communities.   I have emailed all clubs some more than once.  So far I have chatted with over 50% of the Clubs but I’m still waiting to hear back from the remaining Clubs.  It doesn’t take much time so please reply or contact me yourself.

CF NEWS

Donations to CF must be received at the CF office by May 31 to count towards our District goals at District Convention.  Cheques should be sent to Cystic Fibrosis Canada, 2323 Yonge Street, Suite 800, Toronto, ON, M4P 2C9.  So far this year we have had only two donations.

MS NEWS

Donations to MS must be received by MS on or before May 31 to count towards our District totals at District Convention.  Cheques should be sent to MS Society Atlantic Division, 1-109 Ilsley Avenue, Dartmouth, NS, B3B 1S8. To date there has been no donations to MS.

KIN CANADA BURSARIES

District 7 students submitted 23% of the all applicants this year. It would be wonderful to see Clubs donating to the fund for next year. Donations towards Kin Canada Bursaries should be received at National by June 30.  The amount of donations during this Kin year 2022-2023 will determine the number of bursaries to be granted in the KIN year 2023-24.  Donations to Kin Canada at P.O. Box 3460, Cambridge, ON N3H 5C6.

VOLUNTEER HOURS

There is a form that Clubs can use to report, either through the link on ikin/sent out in Kinnections starting next month, or directly to Service Directors. In our District you can also submit on our D-7 web site.  The important thing is that you track your hours and submit them to one of these options by May 31.

BLOOD DONATIONS

Please continue to donate and ask friends and family to join our District 7 team.
