    We are a group of volunteers looking to help brighten the lives of those less fortunate. Perhaps you have heard of us on the news, in the newspaper, Community News, or on the radio raising money for wheelchairs for Rwanda.
    On March 24th at 5:30 pm, we will be hosting a fundraising Potluck Dinner and Movie night at the Regina City Hall Forum, which is located at 2476 Victoria Avenue.

    Since the start of our mission in January, 2006, we have raised enough money and assisted with the delivery of 280 wheelchairs in Rwanda.  After hearing of our mission the California Rotary Club sent and assisted with the delivery of 1120 wheelchairs. The total of wheelchairs sent and delivered to Rwanda is 1400.

    But there are many more people in Rwanda who are disabled and in need of wheelchairs, so our job has just begun! Through gracious donations from the public, we have had one more carton of wheelchairs donated and will be sent to Rwanda in the near future.

    If you can find it in your heart to assist us, any donations would be graciously accepted and appreciated. Or if you would like to join us for supper, the cost is $5 for 12 years & under, $10 with a food item, or $15 without. Please purchase tickets by March 20th, 2007.

    You are invited to make a donation directly to Wheelchair Foundation Canada towards the purchase of a wheelchair and get a tax receipt, or to get more information visit the web site @ www.wheelchairfoundation.ca

    Please feel free to call Terri Sleeva @ 545-7378 for more information about our Potluck and Movie Event!
