Old News
M&S Year to Date
M&S year to date total is $31,761.44. We celebrate the generosity and commitment of our church family! During this time significant contributions have also been made to special appeals for the Horn of Africa and Goderich Tornado Relief. On a motion made at last year’s Annual General Meeting, we increased our M&S Fund pledge to the amount of $45,000. We still have a way to go; please continue to support M&S.
Workplace Violence and Harassment Policy
Bill 168 passed by the Ontario government amended the Occupational Health and Safety Act and requires every employer to have a policy with respect to workplace violence and harassment. The CUC Board passed our policy at their September meeting. A copy of the policy can be downloaded by clicking HERE, the bulletin board and table outside of Marilyn’s office. If you have any questions, please contact a member of the M&P committee. Thank you.

Habitat for Humanity Huron County News
Habitat for Humanity Huron County is planning on building a house in Clinton in 2011. This will be a single family dwelling. In the fall of 2010 we will be advertising to make our intentions know to the general public. Over the summer months we ask you to think of families that are in need of better housing, and are willing to partner with Habitat. Our goal is to eliminate poverty housing in Huron County by offering a "hand-up" and not a "hand-out". In the fall, when our application process starts, please encourage these families to apply for this opportunity to own their own home. If you want additional information, or application forms, please call our office at 519-612-1612 or write to Habitat for Humanity Huron County, P.O. Box 453, Goderich, N7A 4C7. Thanking you in advance for you help and co-operation.
