Greetings to Treasurers, Presidents and Contacts.

It is my usual custom to contact you at this time with requests for your annual donations.
I am happy to tell you that this is not that letter.

We have and are being challenged during the years 2020 – 2021 in our daily living,
worship, volunteer life and sometimes just managing the shopping for essentials. I have
learned to appreciate so many small and large things that I had taken for granted. I give
thanks for the wonderful love and support I receive from our Lord and Saviour; I am
grateful and I hope all of you are thankful and continuing in your ministry of prayer,
fellowship by telephone, letter writing and the many technical services that are available
to us.

I am pleased to share with you the decision of the ACW Board, that we will not request
donations this year.

Our THANKOFFERING for 2021 is Canadian Food for Children, a large charity
inspired many years ago by Mother Theresa. Administrative costs are 2% of revenues,
and the charity reports spending no money on fundraising. For every $1 donated, 98
cents go to the cause. I do hope you can share this with your women and will support
this effort for 2021.

In 2020 you supported our outreach generously and I am pleased to share with you how
we distributed the funds.

Gifts to each of the Salvation Army Citadels in our 5 Deaneries

Under your Deanery Presidents name $300.00 each $1500.00
To the Anglican Church of Canada Giving with Grace $ 1425.00
The Diocese of Algoma – General funds $2000.00

If you have the funds to make a donation to the general funds of the ACW, it
would be most appreciated. Please indicate in the memo line either Donation
or Thank Offering.

All donations gratefully received

Diocese of Algoma ACW
