Rosedale Village responds

No, this is NOT the famous Rosedale in Toronto, home of the rich and famous. This is a nice little retirement community on a golf course in Brampton, home of the memory-challenged.

Since my article appeared in the community newsletter last week, many neighbours have been asking for information about donating bedkits. I have discovered that the best way to handle these inquiries is to make up a little kit with a donation form and brochure in an envelope addressed to Sleeping Children.

The whole online donation thing appears to be a turn-off for most of these retirees, so I am trying to make it as easy as possible. I must say the local response has been very encouraging. Thanks to all of you who may be checking out this blog.
