Dear Members,
Hope you are all doing well.
It’s that time of year again, "𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞" when we share with those of us who are less fortunate.
This summer for the past three years we have been able to have our usual family day fund raising picnic. Thanks to all the members who helped and donate to make it a successful event.
For more that twenty years we have held our annual food treat program for the elderly and shut-ins in our Village. During the pandemic, we were still able to carry out the project through your generous donations.
This year again, we are hoping that members will donate to this worthwhile cause, no matter the amount you can afford. "𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐜𝐨 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐭"
Thanks in advance for your continued support, you can contact me or our treasurer Carl Beharie to make your donations. Paying your annual dues of $25.00 is a good way to continue your support. You can also donate by clicking on the donate button below.
Yours respectfully,
Tim Escoffery

Very recently, some LVRDF members distributed the Annual Christmas treat to the elderly and those unable to access basic necessities. This is a crucial program driven by our membership dollars. Please find out more by taking a closer look at our website.

I know I am late with my annual report (2019). This year 2020 is so devastating with this pandemic, that most aspect of daily living has been affected.
In-spite of all this disruption our organization was able to full fill our annual mandate, which is helping residents in our beloved Village community of Lluidas Vale.
Our annual two fundraising ventures were successful as in past years.
Because of our dedicated members, and committee members we were able to raise some much needed funds from the Picnic, the fall dance, members dues and donations from some members and other supporters.
Our annual charity support for 2019 include achievements such as:
• Our annual Christmas treat
• Herby’s annual financial care support
• Bereavement supports
• Student scholarship financial support
• Brassington Basic school supplies
• Food for the Poor
• Other donations and gifts
Again, thanks to our hardworking committee members, and support from the many
donors, members and friends of Lluidas Vale.
The commitment and dedication to giving back to our community is unwavering among our members. We will continue to support the Village its schools, community events and most importantly the residents who are in need.
As President, I am privileged to serve and remain passionate and committed to our cause of helping our Village.
Yours respectfully,
Tim
