Subject: Bursary Donations
Comrades All;
Please accept this memo on behalf of the Bursary Committee, to thank you for your kind and generous donations.
As we continue to grow and are receiving more applications for assistance, it is important not to forget our Veterans, their spouses, children and grandchildren, who have reached out to us for assistance with their educational needs.
Our current award is $1,250 and I have no doubt that it will increase in the coming years. With the cost of education increasing there will be an increased need for assistance to pay for all those necessary items required at the College and University level.
Last year, the donations received did not cover the applications, and we received assistance from the Charitable Foundation, for which I thank them. Currently, we are on track to have more applications than last year, which shows how fast we are growing.
Comrades your ongoing support for this important program makes a difference to the students receiving it. Just a note in this regard: we did receive an email with a copy of a diploma and the simple words “Thank You”.
Your ongoing generous support of the Bursary Program is welcomed, and we trust you will look upon our request favorably.
Yours in comradeship
Diane Condon
Bursary Chair
