Three donation bins have been set up at Canadian Tire, Wal*Mart, and outside Discover Books' main warehouse on Peardonville Road in Abbotsford for you to donate your old books, CDs, videos and other media. These books will then be sold to the general public or recycled. A whopping portion of the proceeds from the total sales will go to The BC Cancer Foundation.

They have events planned for later in the year, and are looking to make this an ongoing endeavor to help us clean out our bookshelves and fight cancer at the same time.

Like many schools in BC, Godson Elementary School struggles with the responsibility of providing students with adequate resources and playground equipment. Students and parents have already done an admirable job of rasing funds for the much-needed playground equipment, but they still need to raise an additional $50,000 to make it a reality.

If you can make a contribution, it would go a long way to making the 300 students of Godson safer, healthier, and happier.

Call the school office for more information. (604)853-8374.

It'll be one amazing weekend to help countless amazing women. From September 5th through the 7th, thousands of people will unite in Vancouver to walk a total of 60 kilometers to raise funds to fight one of Canada's leading killers of women. In fact, one in nine Canadian women will be diagnosed with some form of breast cancer at some point in her lifetime, and The Weekend To End Breast Cancer is your chance to go the distance for those women and discover a strength you never even knew you had.

Are you looking for an excuse to have fun? Do you need a reason to do all the fun things you did when you were a kid If so... you NEED the Big Brothers Big Sisters program!

Big Brothers Big Sisters programs are designed to match adults in need of having fun, with a child between the ages of 7 and 14. These children are pre-screened and have committed to spend 3-4 hours a week, with their "Big Brother" for the duration of a year.

Worried that becoming a Big Brother or Sister means you'll have to be on your best behaviour and spend lots of money? Don't be. As a Big Brother or Sister all that's required is your time. And you can fill that time by playing video games, giving each other makeovers, going fishing, eating ice-cream, whatever you want! It's all about having a good time, making a new friend, and making a positive impace on a child's life.

Statistics show the Big Brother Big Sisters program increase children's self-esteem, reduces their chance of using drugs, alcohol or violence, improve their school participation and attendance and helps them to build better relationships with adults and their peers.

Put a "Little" fun in your life, and share a little magic with a chld today!
