Dear Garden Gate Florists,

I wish to sincerely thank you for my beautiful wedding flowers. I was awed by the arrangements and the bouquets.

You helped to make the day one of the best in our life.

Sincerely,

Hi Nanci,

Thank-you!!!

The flowers you did for us were amazing and when I came down to the green to see the fall leaves creating my isle it was wonderful.  Mike said he saw the extra boxes that were delivered with the flowers and got really excited - the girl, whose name he can't remember, mentioned you had gotten all of it from your own yard/garden.  It really made it special for me - and both of us appreciated the extra time & touch you added.

Thanks again
-Margaret & Mike

Dear Roberta:

Thank you so much for your generous donation of an elegant orchid arrangement to this year’s “Grow the Garden” Gala. You helped us to raise a lot of money to continue the work of growing the Garden. The event was a smashing success and we netted close to $45,000.

We are so pleased with the support we have had towards building a garden that will be a community treasure by contributing to the economy, offering educational opportunities and promoting environmental awareness.

For further information about the Botanical Garden Society and its exciting plans, please visit our website at www.coastbotanicalgarden.org.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely.

Dear Nancy,

This is to convey our sincere thanks for your meaningful support of our May 16th fund-raiser Golf Tournament and dinner for the CanaDares Society Homeless Children Project in Tanzania, Africa. The event was a great success, with 91 golfers, diners and volunteers participating.

Your generous prize donation of a gorgeous ceramic planter garden was greatly appreciated. It contributed significantly to everyone’s overall enjoyment of the event. Thank you so much.

In total, we raised over $11,000 for CanaDares, a substantial gift towards their new health treatment centre and housing projects near Dar es Salaam, to expand their care for the countless orphaned children of that region.

Hopefully, you will see our ad in the May 22nd Coast Reporter, thanking you and all the donors for your highly valued support of our fundraiser, without which we could not have achieved such a wonderful result. We are truly grateful for your generous participation.

Yours sincerely, on behalf of Lynda Kearns-Sirigwi and the CanaDares Society Board of Directors,

Don Gunning

April 2010

The Sunshine Dragons Abreast would like to thank you for your generous support of our yearly fashion show. It was a wonderful evening and a huge success. As a result of the support of people like you, we expect to reach our fundraising goal for this year. We are looking forward to representing the Sunshine Coast at regattas in Vancouver, Nanaimo and of course Peterborough, Ontario where we will participate in the International Dragon Boat Festival for Breast Cancer Survivors. Your generosity has enabled us to pursue our goal and educate people about breast cancer and to demonstrate that this disease can be beaten. There is a life after cancer.

With our sincere appreciation,

On behalf of the Rotary Club of the Sunshine Coast-Sechelt, I would like to thank you for your generous donation to the Dad and Me Dance held on Tuesday May 18th, 2010. The event was a huge success with over 390 little ladies and their fathers (or significant male escort) dancing up a storm to Much Video and having a great time. This is the most popular event our Club hosts during the year and it is always a pleasure to see so many happy faces

All funds collected from the evening go towards helping or aiding Polio Plus Internationally and Youth Programs on the Sunshine Coast (kids helping kids). So once again we thank you for supporting the Dad & Me Dance and our Rotary Club as together we can continue to support our community.
