September 13, 2012 Regular Meeting Notes

Seven Leduc Optimist Club members attended the September 13th meeting, bringing personal donations of school supplies for use by the Leduc Food Bank distribution program. A club cash donation cheque in the amount of $200.00 was also made up to enable the purchase of required, but not donated, school supplies at the Food Bank. A supply of non-perishable food items was also brought to the meeting. THANKS to all who donated.

Since a representative was not able to be present at our meeting, a club member delivered the items to the Food Bank on Monday, September 17, 2012.
There were 29 pounds of school supplies and 93 pounds of food items, plus the $200.00 cash cheque.

Appreciation was expressed by the Leduc Food Bank.

 

Besides school supplies and food, Optimist Ray presents a cheque to Manager Gert Reynar
