The Headingley Community Foundation is looking for 2 new board members to replace board members who will have served their terms, following our AGM in October. Hello my name is Jill Ruth, Vice Chair of HCF, and I have served on a number of Headingley nonprofit boards over the past 40+ years. The HCF Board has been particularly rewarding. Not only to we have great people dedicated to serving our community, but we have achieved important tangible objectives since our inception only 9 years ago, like a soon to be reached goal of obtaining $1,000,000 in Endowment Funds. We never spend the Endowment Funds. Alternatively we spend a portion of the interest earned from these funds to support many nonprofits in our area, such as: Akiing Onji Foundation (215 Moccasins Fund), Bright Beginnings Educare, Headingley Grand Trunk Trail, Headingley Historical Society, Headingley Library, Headingley Seniors' Services, Jim's Vintage Garages, Phoenix School, and Ronald McDonald House (Kinsmen Fund). We also support student scholarships through the Phoenix Recreation Assoc. and the Headingley Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Funds.
You can help us to keep supporting our community by joining our board. Terms can be 1, 2 or 3 years. We'd love to have you. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call me @ 204-612-3840 or visit our website @ www.headingleyfoundation.ca
