In loving memory of my Dad, John Flynn, who dedicated his life to the 'hotdogs' of S.H. Armstrong Recreation Centre.

THANK YOU CANADA

Mission complete!  All of our donations have been well received by the Dominicanada Youth Development Centre in the Dominican Republic!  Below are a few photos of  the many donations distributed, each child received a goodie bag to take home with them.  Thank you to all who were involved with our drive at Mundy's Bay.  Thank you principal Mrs. Condren, who allowed us to set up camp outside of her office.  Thank you to Mrs. Scott for spear heading the drive with Ally and all her classmates.  Thank you to all the kids at Mundy's Bay, and their families for collecting so many nice donations.  Thank you Mind's Alive for the donation of toys we sent to the kids.  Thank you to Constable Dave Young from the Midland Police Headquarters and to Al Gilchrist the President of the Innisfil Rotary Club for your wonderful offer to transport all these donations to our Dominicanada Youth Development Centre in Puerto Plata.  As well as the donations for the Rotary Club Mission, four suitcases extra were delivered to the Centre.  The cheers could be heard from miles around, "CA-NA-DA, CA-NA-DA", the children shouted.  A glimpse of hope for more students to be able to attend school with all of the school supplies collected,  more full bellies with all the peanut butter and cheez Whiz gathered, and many well  needed toiletries for our Dominican mom's and their households.  Along with lots of new shoes and clothes for the children, and most importantly just the thought of knowing that all of us in Canada care about them.  My sincere thanks to all who made this fabulous drive so successful.
