Subject: Fund Raising Campaign

Dear Friends,

As a beneficiary of the Prescott and Russell Community Services, I hereby solicit your financial support.

I am still living at home - made possible with the support offered by the Prescott and Russell Community Services and rest assured that it is most appreciated to receive such beneficial support, right here at home ,where it feels so good to be.

Last year in Prescott and Russell, 2 359 elderly, handicapped or convalescent persons received in-home support offered by 428 volunteers of the Prescott and Russell Community Services whom generously contributed 27, 155 hours of their precious time.

The Ontario Health Ministry contributes only 70% of the operational costs of The Prescott and Russell Community Services therefore the organization must raise within the communities a total of 100,000$ in order to better serve their clients which are becoming more and more numerous.

To conclude, the Prescott and Russell Community Services are depending on your generous contribution in be of help to all persons living at home.

Please accept my most sincere gratitude for your contribution.

Yours truly,
Monsieur Pierre Myre
Beneficiary - Prescott Sector
