Bruce and Monica Friesen

Thank you once again for including us in your Christmas Gala. What makes this event stand out beyond your gracious hospitality is your focus on charities

We are pleased to once again participate in the charitable giving program. This year we have selected the Easter Seal Society as the recipient of our donation. Often I have overlooked the larger charitable organizations as potential recipients as I was unsure of their efficiency in delivering the services to the end person. However, this year I was able to see the Easter Seal Society in action. This year a newsletter was sent to parents of handicapped children promoting the Easter Seal summer camp. Leanne, a CanadianMgrSearch employee, was the recipient of the newsletter. As a result she applied on behalf of her son. What followed was very impressive. She was soon contacted by Easter Seals and was assisted through the registration process by caring staff members. In addition, once her child was off to camp she was contacted daily with reports of his stay and his care. The camp itself was also amazing in that they provided close to 1 to 1 camper/staff ratio. This permitted such amazing activities as white water rafting and horseback riding in a safe environment. These are unheard of activities for most physically and mentally challenged kids.
