St. Columban-Irish Forum

A quick announcement to report that we were able to raise our Donation Thermometer to:
[highlight]
$ 3650[/highlight]. as of yesterday March 29 2006.

Thank you to everyone that has made a contribution, and we should get another update from The St. Patrick's Society of Montreal in the next few days.

We have had another little upward moving of the Thermometer on out Donation page. We are now up to [highlight] $ 3836.50 [/highlight].

We received a few more donations and have included the names in our Thanks and Acknowledgement note at the bottom of the Donation page. Also thanks to a couple of our "American Cousins" who made a donation in U.S. dollars we were able to add a few more dollars to the total thanks to the exchange rate between the American and Canadian dollar.

Slowly we are moving forward toward our goal !!!

Thanks to a donation of $ 500. from the Urgel Bourgie Funeral Homes, we have been able to move our thermometer up a little to [highlight]$ 4336.50 [/highlight]toward our objective of $ 25,000. You can see our progress here....

We had some pretty good results in March around St. Patrick's Day but donations have slowed down quite a bit....so if you know any individuals or companies that might be interested in adding to this fund, please contact them.

As a reminder, ?you can print the form from the donation site (either in brochure or single page format) .. These documents explain our efforts. You can then either e-mail the document to your contacts and/or print it out as a poster and hang it up in libraries etc.

Thanks

It may be only 20% of our objective but there is something neat about getting over the $ 5,000. point !!!

Take Care Everyone
