**We apologize if this post is inappropriate to this newsgroup** The following is a fundraising plea on behalf of The Northbrae Community School in London, Ontario Canada. Please take a moment to read it and try to help our school if you are able to.. The Northbrae Community School is a registered charitable organization comprised of volunteers who are committed to providing a caring educational and recreational environment to children and adults in an economically restricted area of Northeast London. After 26 years of providing this much-needed and widely-used family-based service to our neighborhood children and parents, our Community School has found itself in a financial predicament such that we may be forced to close our doors to the community unless we find outside funding. Due to budget restraints, the various government agencies which used to fund us have had to cease all funding. Being a charitable organization, we have no financial reserves. Despite our best efforts at cut-backs including class size restrictions and program cancellations, and reducing our sponsoring of area sports teams, we do not see how we will be able to operate after this current session. We now find it necessary to make a general plea for financial assistance to the public. We are asking groups and individuals to donate money to help our school remain open and continue to service our area. Any amount, small or large, will be greatly appreciated and will be put to immediate use. An official receipt for income tax purposes will be given for all money donated. Donors' namess will be posted in a special area of our school so everyone will be aware of their generosity. Please send your donation to: The Northbrae Community School 335 Belfield Street London, Ontario Canada N5Y 2P1 Please make checks payable to The Northbrae Community School If you wish to review our funding proposal and other related materials, please email us with your postal address and we will forward the material. If you have any immediate questions, please email us or call us at: (519)667-1465 Thank you for your support and generosity.
