Happy new year to everyone and your families; I hope 2023 is a fantastic and healthy year for
you.
Ostomy Toronto needs volunteers for the Delta Bingo sessions we do. If you can spare a couple hours a month to help at at the bingo it would be greatly appreciated. Without volunteers we may have to withdraw from the bingo and that would be unfortunate as we
use these funds to send kids to camp and other programs. It's pretty simple to do just walk around basically.
I would like to take this time to thank the Board of Directors for all their support and hard work
over the last year I could not do this job without them: Aaron, Glen, Michelle, Amy Sue.
I would like to thank Jennifer Burnett and Linda Hurren for their volunteering at the bingo.
Thanks to Amanda Caristo our social media manager for everything she does for Ostomy
Toronto behind the scenes it's truly appreciated.
I'm looking forward to having a great year
Thanks for all your continued support
Jim Fitzgerald
President
Ostomy Toronto
