Thanks to everyone who responded to our request for assistance with our funding shortfall. We received more than $34,000 in donations and, together with Richard’s $20,000 in matching funds, we have a grand total of $53,000. Donations make difference for kids The Jennifer Ashleigh Children's Charity exceed- ed its goal for Richard’s Challenge with the help of some wonderful donors. An amézing donation of $15,000 from Don and Maris Anderson in Stouffvine put us over the top. Our most sincere thanks goes to Richard Muir and the Muir family for their generous support to the children of our charity. They have been long- time supporters of our charity and really stepped up to the plate this time when the need arose. A parent recently wrote to us, “I want to take this moment to thank you for making a huge difference in the quality of my own life and my son’s life. As a single mom with a disabled child, life has been challenging, but, recently, when I suffered from complicated health issues, the extra respite care your charity provided made a world of difference. I was able to get treatment I needed while my son was in trusted care that also helped With his develâ€" opmental needs. It was so nice to be able to hire an experienced respite worker who could help with Eric’s autism and behavioral program. I can’t thank you enough for helping me get through a tough time. It’s so wonderful to know caring donors can make such a difference. I can only hope to one day help in this way as well. My son and I thank you.†Classiï¬ed Manager Bonnie Rondeau hmndmu @Vr’mg. mm ADVERTISING Retail Manager Stacey Allen mllen©yrmg.mm 'SWi-Tribune PUBLISHER Ian Proudfoot 6290 Ma!" St. Stouflville, 0N.

This is the trend that we have been experiencing lately. We are actively looking at new sources of fund- ing; workplace donations, grants, other groups and individuals to help us raise funds. If you can offer assistance in any way, please call our ofï¬ce at 852- 1799 x26 or email generalmail@jenash.org What we are experiencing is part of the natural cycle of growth for the charity, as more and more families become aware of us. We are working hard to meet those needs. The good news is donors continue to tell us they give to )ACC because we are unique, provide a necessary service to families and can do it quickly and with no barriers. Thank you for answering our call for help. Your donations are appreciated more than you will ever know.

Heading downtown for a little madness tonight? This isn't Mardi Gras, but there will probably be a few sightings of pyjamaâ€"clad people. But, beyond the good deals from local merchants, you can also pick up information on your hometown. “This is wholesome family enterti- nament. Jumping castles, guitar bands and ice cream cones kind of fun. Think you know this place? Maybe not. This isn’t the Stouffville of the 19805. Back then, there were women's institutes, Friday night square dances and livestock auctions. The single arena pad was a barn and the only swimming pool was outdoors. Fast forward 25 years and the inventory of facilities and commu- nity groups has had a major make- oven Sure, there are still standbys, including the Masonic lodge, Canaâ€" dian Cancer Society and the Music Mania variety show. But, we've also added a swim team. municipal transit and a partnership with a community in Tanzania. A curling club could be next. All of the above will be featured at a community information fair being run in conjunction with Moonlight Madness tonight. You can talk to representatives from 7 to 10 pm. in Civic Square. That’s right in front of Nineteen on the Park, the municipal arts centre under construction in the heart of downtown. Another one to add to the inven tory.
