The Columbian Foundation For People With Mental Retardation annual fund raising drive to benefit mentally retarded citizens is fast approaching. To meet this challenge we will need help from you along with other groups and organizations. I will be contacting some of you regarding this but please don't wait to hear from me if you have any ideas or want to help. We need volunteers to be site captains, to monitor teams collecting money outside of local businesses, banks, churches, etc. Enclosed in this month's Degree is a letter that you can submit to your company asking for their support of the program.
Many companies encourage programs to benefit local charities.
Please inquire about it where you work. You are also welcome and encouraged to copy the letter and approach other businesses with which you are familiar. If you own, work at, or know of a business in the area where we can leave collection canisters at the counter for a few weeks, that will help a lot. Any way that you can assist with our efforts will go a long way towards our success. I'm sure you all know how important this worthy charity is to our Order, our community, and especially to the people afflicted with Mental Retardation.
