Volunteering for the Canadian Cancer Society

This is a great volunteer opportunity in cooperation with the Canadian Cancer Society!

On Tuesday, April 3, from 9am to 3pm, our chapter will be selling daffodils for the Cancer Society at the University of Alberta Hospital. We would like two or three volunteers for each one hour shift. This volunteer opportunity is great for networking with the Edmonton health community and your fellow GK members. We're also happy to write letters of reference for anyone who would like a record of their volunteering.

Please fill in the times you'd like to volunteer at this poll by March 23rd. Please leave your name and email in the place where it asks for your name (don't worry about your email being shared, only I'll be able to see it). After the deadline, I'll distribute the volunteer time among those who signed up and email everyone their volunteer times.

If you have any questions, please email me (fitton@ualberta.ca).

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

CHOCOLATE FOR SALE! Fundraiser for Little Warriors

Help raise money for Little Warriors, who prevent and educate about child sexual abuse. Your U of A GK chapter fundraising team is raising money for this tremendous cause and you can help by simply purchasing delicious chocolate! Help us reach our fundraising goal of $2,000! You can buy them individually or by the case! The chocolate sells for $2 apiece in two great varieties:

• Chocolate Covered Almonds (30 per case)
• Caramel Chocolate Bars (25 per case)

This order form to help you keep track of whom you’ve sold to and it also contains more information on Little Warriors. Please pay by cash or cheque payable to Golden Key International Honour Society, U of A. Come pick up the chocolate out of the new GK office in SUB 620 (6th floor SUB) between:

This is a fantastic chance to make as little or as large a contribution as you would like. Simply purchase how many chocolate bars you would like or even see if your friends or family want some delicious chocolate and you'll be making a donation at the same time! As the seller, you could raise a pile of money without being out a single dime! I’m selling to my brother, cousins, friends and parents – it’s easy to make a huge difference. I hope we can get a great response from our Golden Key Chapter here at the U of A! If you have any questions or concerns whatsoever, please do not hesitate to email me at mhhodgso@ualberta.ca.
