CBTU Communications Secretary Isabelle Miller was asked to share a few words on behalf of the chapter by event coordinator Bonnie Devine.  The local was able to donate $525.00 to the YWCA in  support of their important work in the community.  Contributors also provided substantial donations to the Calgary Food Bank, which is in need of contributions at this time of the year. A special thanks to all that attended, including chapter members Tricia Watt and Hans-Woosly Balan.
