Christmas can be a stressful, anxiety-filled time, especially for families in need. If you are in a position to help this year, please consider making a donation via a gift card to the Boys and Girls Club in Bowness. If you donate a gift card and drop the card and receipt at the Bowness Club (36-7930 Bowness Road NW), you will receive a gift-in-kind tax receipt.
Not sure what type of gift card you want to donate? Gift cards from grocery stores and local stores like The Bownesian Grocer are suitable as they can be used for Christmas dinner. However, if there is another type of gift card you would like to contribute, feel free to drop it off. Any gift card in any domination is greatly appreciated. Need more information? Contact the Bowness Club at (403) 571-0517 or my office at (403) 268-2430.
I have worked with Boys and Girls Club since I was elected in 2013. I can vouch for the valuable work they do with youth. The Bowness Club is a safe place that helps build a positive sense of self, through supportive adult mentors and engaging activities that challenge and enrich the mind, body and spirit of each member. Club programs focus on building life skills, and social and emotional competencies.
With the holidays approaching, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyeux Noel, Feliz Navidad, and a Happy New Year! I cherish this time of the year and I sincerely wish you a safe and happy holiday with your friends and family.
Ward Sutherland
