May 2010   Dear Friends:

Garage sale signs declare “something for everyone”.  A desire to be outside,  the first sound of Meadow Larks home for the summer, a crocus popping through the frozen ground all sure signs of Spring.   Mont St. Joseph Foundation celebrates Spring through the creation of a garden, a garden that celebrates life and memories of our past and present.  A garden where residents can enjoy spring, hear the fountain, smell the cut grass, feel spring turn into summer.

Each year, Mont St. Joseph Home identifies equipment and furnishings that must be replaced or purchased throughout the Home for the care, safety, comfort and well being of the Elders. It is a long expensive list. The Garden of Life raises funds that provide for the purchase of equipment and to support special programs required to meet the needs of those who live here. 

ALL of us want those we love to be comfortable and well cared for.  Time and again we hear from Mont St. Joseph families, “we are so grateful that Mont St. Joseph Home exists”.  The reality is that Government funding must be supported by our community’s generosity if we are to meet the holistic needs of our Elders. It is why the Mont St. Joseph Foundation exists – to ask people, businesses and groups to remember Mont St. Joseph Home when making charitable donations. Your contributions make such a difference to the people who live here.

Please make your donations payable to Mont St. Joseph Foundation or contact Jenn White @ 922-4663 to make your donation today.

Sincerely,

R Bergen
