Each year 971 Wing
donates
$100 to the Kuseler Campaign. The following note taken from the
CF Newsletter is provided here for your information.
2007 KUSELER
CHRISTMAS CHEER FUND
Once again it's time to launch the fundraiser for the Kuseler Christmas
Fund Campaign. Traditionally the Canadian Forces personnel in Colorado
Springs, through the Kuseler Christmas Fund, collect non-perishable
goods and money for a selected charitable organization. The Kuseler
Christmas Fund grew out of the efforts of Chief Warrant Officer Bill
Kuseler, a Canadian Forces member, whose charitable efforts in 1988
have evolved into an annual Canadian community event. This year the
recipient of our campaign will be the CARE & SHARE FOOD BANK for
Southern Colorado, a not-for-profit food bank. Your donations will
support volunteer and community programs and the outreach efforts of
various partner agencies that help by distributing food in
neighbourhoods that the Food Bank cannot reach alone, providing
thousands of meals and groceries to low-income people in southern
Colorado. Most needed items include canned fruits & vegetables,
boxed pasta, canned or boxed meals (e.g. chili,macaroni & cheese),
rice, canned soup, canned tuna, peanut butter, boxed cereal, canned and
bagged beans, canned tomato products and powdered milk. Request that
monetary donations be made payable to the Canadian Forces Support Unit
Fund. A $10 donation can be turned into up to 100 pounds of food.
Non-perishable food items may be dropped of in the collection box
located in the CFSU foyer. Also, a collection box will be available
at
both the Canadian Children's and Adult Christmas parties. An extra draw
ticket for door prizes will be given for donations made at the Adult
Christmas party. Individual pick up can be arranged through the
Kuseler
Fund Coordinator, Major Laetitia Richard at 474-3334 (work) or 597-1863
(home ). The holidays can be a difficult time of year for families
already in need, sometimes forcing them to choose between paying bills
and buying food. Your donation can help make a difference this
Christmas. Best wishes: to all during this holiday season. I Kuseler
Fund Coordinator, Major Laetitia Richard
