GCWCC Thursday Update 

Thanks to all who attended yesterday's kick-off. Once again, our speakers from the United Way were eloquent and powerful.

I’m going to attempt to keep the update this blog on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Each update will have an updates section; a partners section (information on our major partners); an impacts section; and a link to the  standard details. As always, Marilyn and I are available to answer your questions.

UPDATES

Kevin Farris has graciously offered to donate  the proceeds from the coffee vending machine in Victoria for the period of the campaign to the United Way. Therefore for the three weeks of this campaign, I encourage you to indulge and savour the rich, robust and complex flavours that only our coffee/hot chocolate vending machine can provide you.
