1 April 2008

Dear Community Associates,

It is with a saddened heart and deep regard for our senior and elder community that we regretfully announce that the Volunteer Services Program will be eliminated from Capital Families Association as of April 15, 2008.

Since 1993 Capital Families has been proud to serve the citizens of the Western Communities with volunteer services that include driving seniors to medical appointments, friendly visitors, gardening, small repairs and the senior breakfasts and lunches. Because of increasing overhead costs and lack of consistent funding support, the extremely difficult decision was made to bring the program to a close.

We wish to thank the many volunteers and the dedicated drivers that have given so generously to the community over the years. We will miss serving the seniors and elders who have been so grateful for the little assistance we have given them.

Capital Families Association encourages all organizations and citizens to speak up in support of the needs of seniors in our communities.

Yours truly,

Prairie Escallier
Executive Director
