Farraline Place Fundraiser

Posted on

Although Farraline Place could not hold its annual fall fundraising gala dinner due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing work and caring of its residents has not been cancelled. The challenge is ongoing to make a home for low-to-modest income residents, and this particular year is more crucial than previous years.

A virtual fundraiser was held with tickets $50 per person, and donations of any amount are still being accepted.  For details about how you can support the home's important work, call Sharon Simms (Farraline Board) at (506) 452-8909 or Judy O’Donnell (home administrator) at (506) 455-6443.

Investment Committee members

Posted on

The Diocesan Synod Finance Committee is looking for people with a keen interest in investments to serve on its Investment Sub-committee.  The committee monitors the Diocesan Consolidated Investment Fund (DCIF) and working with its portfolio manager offers advice and recommendation to the Finance Committee regarding these funds. Given the importance of investment income to the Cathedral, many parishes as well as the Synod itself, people skilled in this field who have an interest in serving are being invited to inquire.

If you know of someone you think has the skills and interest, please pass on this request.  Those interested are asked to send a brief summary (250 words or less) of background and interest in this area to interim chairperson Scott Fairweather at  <fairws at nbnet.nb.ca> (replace the 'at' with '@') or contact the Synod Office (506) 459-1801.
