Causeway Foundation Annual Friends Campaign

You are invited to become a Friend with a 2008 donation of $35.00. You’ll make a difference in the lives of people in our community with mental health problems and other disabilities. One hundred per cent of funds raised in the Annual Friends Campaign supports Causeway Work Centre.

Thank you

Thank you to Jill Mutzeneek who retired from the Foundation’s Board at the Annual General Meeting in June. Jill’s many years of volunteer service to Causeway, as President of the Work Centre Board (1996-1998), and founding President of the Foundation Board (1998-2002), was acknowledged at Causeway’s Awards event in May with the presentation of the Eleanor Meier Award for outstanding volunteer work for Causeway.
Thank you to Leah Eustace who has retired from the Board this year after four years of leadership in the Foundation’s fundraising initiatives. Leah’s professionalism and advice have benefited the Foundation in many ways, notably in the establishment of our Planned Giving and Legacy Programs as well as Causeway’s Endowment Fund. We are pleased that Leah has agreed to remain as an advisor to the Foundation.
Thank you to Raquel Chisholm who is leaving the Foundation after a year as Board Secretary. During the year, Raquel reviewed and revised the Board’s Policies and Procedures.

New Board Member: Donna Campbell

Recently retired from the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group (ROHCG), as Administrative Director, ROH General Psychiatry Program, Donna has had extensive experience working as a Health Administrator and Occupational Therapist. She brings both leadership and community service experience to the Foundation Board. She served a full six-year term on the Causeway Work Centre Board including a two-year Presidency. As Past-President, Donna represented the Work Centre Board on the Foundation Board. We are delighted that she has accepted our invitation to work with us again as Vice-President of the Foundation Board.

The Denstedt-Williamson Client Award

The Denstedt-Williamson Client Award has been created in honour of the late Margaret Denstedt-Williamson, a long time client of Causeway Work Centre. The award is nominated by staff members and awarded annually to a current client who has demonstrated the ability to overcome barriers and challenges in his or her life, reached beyond expectations, established new goals, and worked with peers and Causeway staff to reach goals in the past year. This year a Causeway client will receive her or his award on May 22, 2008, the day of our Volunteer and Client Recognition Event. If you would like to receive an invitation for the event please call 613-725-3494 ext. 108 or send an e-mail to info@causewayfoundation.org.
