Dear Friends,
A very warm greeting to everyone!
There were a few events that occurred since
the AGM that council would like to communicate.
We received a letter from the Canada
Revenue Agency requesting that the Rudolf Steiner Foundation be dissolved unless
we plan to make it active. As there is
no such plan, Council decided to dissolve it.
You can see the related correspondence on the members’ web site, or ask
Jef Saunders, our Administrator.
The review engagement with our accountant
went smoothly and the questions and responses, along with the final Financial
Statements, can be found on the members’ website.
We have been successfully using e-transfers
to pay requests for funds and this approach appears to be the way many members’
prefer. We are also offering this method
for donations and contributions. Simply
fill out, scan and email the membership card, along with the answer to your
security question, then send the e-transfer to Jef. If this method proves to be a preference for members,
we might cancel the Canada Helps service next year, which has caused some
issues of confusion.
Requests for funding have increased for
important work by members, and council is finding it challenging to meet all
the requests, while still holding to the approved budget. Your extra donations towards the various
funds provide for important activities of our Society and are greatly
appreciated. Please consider an extra
donation if possible even if you have made your planned contribution. If you have not made your contribution and
donation for this year, please do so soon to help make it unnecessary for Jef
and Council to make reminders. Please
contact Jef if you need to make special arrangements and we thank you for your
support.
Warm regards,
Douglas Wylie
Treasurer
