[fvc-wat-disc] Sad News

[Sharon Sommerville]

Good Morning Everyone,

The House of Friendship has an online donation option that
accommodates groups making a donation in honour of an individual so it is
easy to do.

If we choose, people can e-transfer their donation to me. I will collect
the contributions and do an online donation to remember John on behalf of
FVC-WR.   Which charity is the question?  Any views on that?

Take care,
Sharon
