A sincere "Thank-you" is extended to the individuals, the Lodges, the Valentine Charity Ball and the Bytown Lodge Chili Challenge for the money so generously donated to this year's Charity Project. The members of the Mission were extremely pleased to receive the cheque and they assured us that the money will be gratefully received and faithfully applied.
