[fvc-wat-disc] Sad News

I think, because I know some have difficulties with e-transfers and credit
cards, that it might be best for the GRH option which includes individual
cheques so that we can each get on this right away.

Here is the link directly to the Cancer Care greatest needs option for
online donations; do remember to make note of FVC-WR in the comment
(feedback) section AND make note the donation receipt is to go to YOU.
https://grhf.ca/collections/cancer-care/products/cancer-centres-greatest-needs
One thing I found wonky was the amount you specified on the first page was
not properly transferred to the second page and it takes some time to
adjust to what you want.  The feedback comment box is on this second page.

For cheque writers, the mailing address is :

*GRAND RIVER HOSPITAL FOUNDATION*835 King Street West
Kitchener ON N2G 1G3

Be sure to include a note to direct the funds to Cancer Care Greatest Needs
as an individual, on behalf of Fair Vote Canada Waterloo Region--donation
receipt should go to the individual.

This is what I wrote:
Donating as an individual, as a supporter of
Fair Vote Canada--Waterloo Region
Please send donation receipt to me as an individual

Sorry, I do support House of Friendship!!  But we are liable to spend a
month or more in discussion and logistics.  :)

No other Western democratic country concentrates as much political power in
the hands of one person as Canada does with her Prime Minister.
