Chebucto volunteers continued to call CCN users in Day 2 of
the CCN fund raising canvass. "We're getting a lot of
positive responses to CCN from our users", said organizer
Richard Rudnicki, "and one in three are donating."
Johnathan Thibodeau, a Grade XI student and member of CCN Youth added,
"We've even had a person call us back after we had gotten no answer
from his line. He used Caller ID to get our number and made a donation!"
The canvass will run
Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons for the next two weeks and has
a goal of raising $1500 from Chebucto users to help offset the costs
of upgrading aging modems and other system needs. It has raised
$395 to date.
Volunteers
are needed to help man phones and
stuff envelopes. Free munchies and prizes are available. Please
come on down and help out!
