Dear <<First Name>>,
Did you recently receive a Brown Bag on your doorstep from the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive? It originally looked like the bag that I had receieved previously from the Secular Central Okanagan Food Bank and I was just about to put food in the bag when I noticed the logo difference.
If you go to the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive Facebook page, you will notice that their related pages are all from the Latter Day Saints which is a Mormon organization. Maybe they give out food in a secular fashion and don't proselytize, but who knows. It doesn't seem honest the way that they are distributing the bags with no real information on who they are. It is also not clear which food banks the food actually goes to.
We have secular food banks here. Donate to the Secular Central Okanagan Food Bank, if you want your resources to be given without god.
We are planning to have our annual picnic on September 26th. Fire, rain and the plague had prevented our picnic over the summer, but we are certain we can meet this time.
Our annual KASHA picnic will be at Boyce-Gyro Beach Park on Lakeshore Drive. It's the one with the big red apple!
Boyce-Gyro Beach Park has a beach and a lovely picnic area.
We will be practicing physical distancing, as per BC Health Guidelines.
Look for the KASHA signs near the beach.
We will NOT be sharing food, so please bring your own lunch, non- alcoholic drinks, and snacks.
At 12:30 pm, we will enjoy our own lunches.
Check out the KASHA calendar for more information.
If you are interested in getting more involved and have some ideas for a project, let me know. We are all ears, come to the picnic and let us know what you would like to see in the winter.
Sincerely,
Nina
