Once again  I am fund raising for CHATS (Community & Home Assistance to Seniors).   I have committed to walk 40K to support programs and services offered by CHATS.

Either for altruistic or selfish reasons one can’t help but be impressed with an organization aspiring to enhance the health, wellness and independence of seniors and the caregivers!  It is so important that there are options for all of us as we age as to where we want to live.  CHATS  helps keep the option of living at home a viable one.

The important role which CHATS fills, was really demonstrated to me recently.  I received an email from someone concerned about an elderly friend living alone in King City. The writer lives too far away from her friend to see her frequently; she wanted to know if there was anything like a “meals on wheels” in King as her friend was not well.  It was so wonderful for me to be able to direct the writer to  CHATS.  (As CHATS is only in York Region she was not aware of such an organization.)

This is CHATS one fund raising event for the year.  Along with others I will be doing my walk February 1 -7.   To support me you can do so on-line; click here.  Or, if you prefer, send a cheque to my attention at the Township Office (2075 King Road, King City ON L7B 1A1) payable to CHATS Walk for Wellness; I will ensure that it is deposited and that you receive your receipt. 

A pledge in any dollar amount  is much appreciated- large or small – it all helps! Tax receipt will be issued.
