Donations in Memory

Denise Shular

We've written before about both Isabelle Robinson, and Denise Shular, but today I want to share with you how these sisters both continue to give back to our community.  Denise & Peter recently sold their home and moved into an apartment complex in town.  It was important to Auntie (great in my case) to repay a loan that Isabelle had long forgotten about.  Denise wrote a cheque and asked me to deliver it to her sister in Calgary, which I did.  After seeing it, and reading the letter, Isabelle looked and me and said "I don't remember this, I don't need it."

Isabelle Robinson

Isabelle decided to donate the money back to the Golden & District Community Foundation, in the Crandlemire-Keenleyside Family Legacy Fund.  This $3,000 gift takes our families fund to just a few thousand dollars short of $30,000.  This amount will see our fund able to provide an approximate grant to the community of $1,500 annually.




With Auntie Denny's recent passing, we wanted to share with you the power of this gift.  Auntie Denny, through Isabelle, will be giving back to Golden now and forever.  Donations in Memory of others can be a powerful way to give back and I am so thankful for the gracious example of generosity these sisters have shown us.
