Among the Temple's activities are fundraising and community service efforts for various charitable causes and programs which our members believe to be worthy of support. Raised in Durham September 1999 AIDS Walk Durham, Oshawa $450 In its first community service effort, members and friends of the newly-formed Temple raised $450 for AIDS research. April 2000 Ganaraska River Clean-Up, Port Hope Temple members and friends celebrated Earth Day 2000 with a clean-up of the Ganaraska River. A dozen trashbags were filled, items such as mattresses and shopping carts were pulled from the river. The Ganaraska River is a major salmon run during their spawning season. August 12, 2000 Bethesda House Shelter For Battered Women, Bowmanville $420 Over two dozen Temple members and friends participated in a barbecue to benefit the Bethesda House shelter. Between bouts of throwing ice at one another, blowing bubbles, and teasing passers-by, we managed to broil enough hot dogs and sausages to raise $420 for the women's shelter. September 24, 2000 AIDS Walk Durham, Oshawa $1,077 Marching with members of the Durham Pagan Pub Moot under a banner reading "Pagans For A Cure," Temple members and friends raised just over $1,000 for AIDS research. The Temple placed third among community groups raising funds during the Walk. |
