Report for Rev. Don Ehler Memorial Chaplaincy Fund    Oct 23rd/ 2006
 
   As of October, 2006, balance of Chaplaincy fund stands at $48,625.54. Anyone that has been following along since the beginning will know that we have almost reached our target total of $50,000.00. This total has been raised with a very limited operating budget.
 
   The committee that represents this fund still stands at 2 members strong. David Rafuse is the treasurer of fund and Derek Ehler is chairman. When we started back in October 1996, we had 5 members. They were Derek Ehler, Ron Baxter, David Rafuse, Eric Eagles and Peter Reid.
 
   The main objective for creating this committee has not changed or lost focus. Once $50.000.00 is accumulated, interest from investment will be used to increase the hours of Chaplain services at Dykeland Lodge in Windsor. We are looking forward to this increase in Chaplaincy hours at Dykeland Lodge.
 
   The main bulk of donations, as seen in the financial report, come from local church members via monthly West Hants Baptist fellowship services. These services are held at alternating churches on the last Sunday of  each month and are organized by Derek Ehler with the help of Pastors from churches. Envelopes are provided at monthly services which offer the giver the opportunity to receive an income tax receipt for donations over $5.00. A big THANK YOU goes out to all givers of this fund.
