Free Coffee Party submitted by Chris McConnell The Souris Glenwood Foundation and MNP are teaming up to provide an information session on Thursday, November 10, at Murphy’s - An Irish Legacy. The Souris Glenwood Foundation was founded in 1993 to improve the quality of life in the community. The Foundation is a registered charitable organization that pools the donations it receives into a capital fund. These funds are then invested and the income generated is granted back to the community to not-for-profit organizations. In 2015, there were nine grants awarded throughout the community as
well as three scholarships awarded to students furthering their education. The Foundation provides financial assistance to support recreational, medical, cultural, educational, and social services in the community. For the second year, the Souris Glenwood Foundation will also be taking part in the annual Endow Manitoba 24 Hour Giving Challenge on November 19. Endow Manitoba is a public information campaign to raise awareness of and build support for all community foundations. On this day, for every $5 donated to the Souris Glenwood Foundation, the Winnipeg Foundation will add $1 up to a maximum
of $2,000 per foundation. Last year an information table was set up in the Civic Centre to answer questions and receive donations. As a result of this day, the SGF received $3,330 and the Winnipeg Foundation contributed another $666 to make almost $4,000 going back to the foundation. MNP will be focusing on the tax incentives available when you make a donation or a bequest in your will. Board members and MNP representatives will be available to answer any questions you might have at the information session. The Souris Glenwood Foundation is a great way to support your hometown today, tomorrow and forever.
Timeless Market donates to Food bank by Darci Semeschuk Timeless Market has wrapped up for the 2016 season and their success benefited the Souris Harvest Food Bank. Deanna Way, who operated Ideanna’s Designs in Souris, coordinated with Lori Dornian of Timeless Treasures to organize the Timeless Market/ “We successfully held five markets throughout the summer and only required to move indoors for the last one due to weather,” stated Way. “The outside venue of the market is one of community and support. We thank all that participated in the market as the vendors, volunteers for set up, take downs, receipts and advertising and most importantly YOU... for stopping by to show your support.” Way says they decided to donate their proceeds from their table rentals to the Food Bank. “This year our final donation to the Town of Souris Food Bank, from our table rentals, was $355,” she stated. “We look forward to seeing you in 2017 and we can’t wait to see you in the spring.”
The last Friday of every month is considered “Jeans Day” for all branches of Westoba Credit Union. Each participant who wears jeans on those Fridays, donates $2. All branches choose a charity at the beginning of the year that they would like to receive a donation. September was the Souris branch’s month and they chose the Souris Food Bank, and presented them with a cheque for $253.
