Some changes to announce...

Hi,

Stephanie, the kids and I have just returned from a great family vacation in the East Coast. We are catching up on memberships and trying to return to normal working life...It was a great trip for us as a family.

I hope your summer is going well too.

I wanted to up-date everyone on some changes to our program. A month or two ago, you might have noticed that we dropped a lot of our small vendor ads for the local area of Ottawa. This was maily due to our membership overwhelmingly seeking out the Bell offer and not using our member cards for very many of the other businesses.

This was necessary for a few reasons; first of all Stephanie and I had to spend a great deal of time visiting with each business (audit) to ensure new staff were accepting and recognizing the cards. As was not always the case and it really frustrated some members when trying to use their cards. It also took a lot of time to up-date and ensure ad info was accurate.

Our plan moving forward is to continue to add members and build a strong membership base to gain support from larger national vendors. Right now we have Bell Mobility for the best plan in Canada and Marks Work Wearhouse. But with a larger member pool, we can attract the attention of some great companies.

The revenue we are earning from memberships has been going towards members of our emergency services and health care communities in support of families experiencing a medical crisis. We are also supporting our website, admin costs and paying down our operational loans.

We appreciate your continued support and hope you can refer many friends and family to join our program and cause.

Kind regards,

Patrick McIntyre
