Letter from Bonnie Davison on behalf of all the party planners:

Our Garden Party FUNdraiser is now over and we can’t thank everyone enough for making it such a success. We have raised $19,350! Everyone helped out in so many ways. Thank you for your donations, for your time,  for helping to spread the word about this great cause, and for making it such a fun event! What a great gathering of wonderful women! I think now we need to challenge some men to match or top our donation!

Christie and the APU cake

The money we raised yesterday is enough to build a 1/4 of the hostel. If you know anyone who wasn’t able to make it and who would like to donate, here is how they can help out. For those of you on Facebook, posting the link below would be a great way to reach out to those who don’t live in town but might want to contribute.

Donate by cheque. You can send it to:
APU, c/o Christie Johnson
650 Pearson College Drive
Victoria, BC, V9C 4H7

        Or, if you live near St. Michael’s University School (SMUS), you can drop a cheque or cash off at reception for me, Bonnie Davison, and I can make sure it gets to Christie, who is now in Malawi for the first APU Graduation. If you would like a tax receipt, please make sure your address in on your cheque and a receipt will be mailed to you.

Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity. We will continue to update you with the progress of this inspiring project.

Hugs on behalf of all the party planners!
Bonnie
