Each local Heritage Club chapter must submit, in January of each year, an annual and financial report to the National Executive. The report covers member communication, events, charitable support, etc. This ‘report card’ is used by the national executive to decide awards and distribute the seed money they receive from Canada Post. One of the accomplishments we’re graded on is member volunteer activity. If you volunteer in your community, please send an email, by January 26, with information (organization(s), hours, etc.) about your volunteer activities. Please let us know how you are making a difference in your community.
Speaking of volunteer hours… We have received a request from the Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) and The Olde Forge, organizations that provide support to older adults in Rural Ottawa South and Western Ottawa, for volunteer drivers. If this volunteer opportunity would be of interest to you, please reach out to Jennifer Zeinstra for details. Please note, the Heritage Club is not affiliated with either group and you should discuss all questions (hours, insurance coverage, etc.) with Jennifer.
