Gift of Life (GOL) Board members were proud exhibitors at the District 7090 conference on April 5 in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Members of the GOL Board manned a table at which chocolate hearts and heart-shaped cookies were sold. The heart motif was selected as a reminder of the mission of GOL to provide cardiac surgery for needy children in 80 underserved countries of the world.Although the sale of chocolate hearts is not feasible this year due to increased production costs, Board members on both sides of the border are concentrating on club visits to raise money. Thus far, a number of clubs have been most generous with a few clubs stating the intention to make GOL a line item in their budget. Visits will continue throughout June as we try to meet our goals for donations to Gift of Life International. If you have not yet scheduled a presentation, please contact Cathy Henry, Canadian co-President, at dhenry1@cogeco.ca or Pat Castiglia, U.S. co-President, at ptcas34@hotmail.com to schedule a visit. Service through Saving Children’s lives.
