Give From the Heart Radiothon

Once again I had the pleasure of visiting the good folks over at AIR 106.1 FM radio station in Airdrie, yesterday.  We were promoting the Community Links program through their Give From the Heart Radiothon. 

As you know, the Community Links program has a branch office over here in Beiseker.  It's located in our new Community Services Building at the corner of Fifth Street and Third Avenue, along with the Playschool and the Library.

It's open two days a week (Tuesday and Friday) from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  The programs they offer there are amazing!  They can provide help and support for those who need it.  And if they can't help you on the spot, they'll find out who can and get you connected.  If you're dealing with an issue and you're looking for solutions or you want to learn more about something that's affecting you, or maybe just need someone to talk to, Community Links is your place!  Drop in and get a publication called CONNECTING with a description of all their programs. 

By the way, that same publication is available at the Beiseker Village Office. I think you'll be amazed at the things they do over there!

Each year Community Links and AIR 106.1 FM holds a telethon to raise money to help insure the wonderful work they're doing keeps going. 

I had two other meetings that day, so I had to bug out mid-morning, but they were already coming in on $10,000 pledged so far!  I'll let you know what the grand total was when I find out.  If you missed the Telethon, drop off your donation at the Community Links branch here in Beiseker or you can donate online through Canada Helps.  Remember; many small donations yields a huge success!

Busy Valentine's Day

I started early this morning, being interviewed on AIR 106.1 FM in Airdrie.  They were doing their annual Give From The Heart Radiothon to support Community Links, today!

I was able to tell them that the Community Links branch in Beiseker has the capabilities to help almost everyone who is dealing with a "life issue!"  I specifically mentioned the parenting skills program, which helps new mothers with every part of raising a baby, and talked about the Income Tax Service which has volunteers help seniors prepare and submit their income tax forms.  There are many other programs and services offered over at Community Links.  I urged all listeners to find out how Community Links here in Beiseker can help them. 

Don't forget the Valentines Day benefit at the Community Centre this evening, supporting the Knapp family.  Happy Valentines Day!
