MEET YOUR BOARD MEMBERS
Dear Friends,
Another year has come to an end and although we have received our Non-Profit Status weare still waiting on the Canadian Government to issue our Tax Receipt number. Once re-ceived we will provide receipts to all those who have contributed $20.00 or more to AVC
Foundation Inc.
Where did the time go? We have been very busy fundraising, collecting donated items, im-plementing programs and building lasting community relationships. Laying the foundationsto provide charitable relief to Guyana, participating in a community program in Stouffville,Ontario and so much more. In this issue we will attempt to give you a birds eye view of some
of the projects we are involved in.....
Without your donations and help we would not be able to accomplish and continue any of the achievements that we are sharing with you in this newsletter. Your ongoing generosity
enables us to do what we do - You are the wind beneath our wings - Thank you so very muchfor trusting and believing in us.
Warmest Wishes
Allison Vyfhuis Caldeira
