Sowing seeds of progress

Posted

April is a busy month for Circle of Care. We are pleased to announce this year’s annual general meeting (AGM) will be held from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 16, at the Benson Road fire hall. Refreshments will be served and all are invited.

Our guest speaker will be Dr. John Anwar. Dr. Anwar is the  chair of medicine at St. Vincent de Paul/ Virginia G. Piper Medical Clinic as well as an assistant clinical professor at Creighton University School of Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine Residency Program.

Dr. Anwar is now a part-time resident of Point Roberts, as he spends one week a month here and the rest in Phoenix, Arizona. He provides medical consulting services in person and remotely through telemedicine to supplement the local clinic’s current clinical providers.

He is not associated with Circle of Care but we find his story inspiring, and we want to share with you his message of unconditional giving, humanitarian practice and generosity. Here is a link to an article written about Dr Anwar in 2021: bit.ly/3ZqMaZf.

Dr. Anwar will be speaking to us via Zoom, as his schedule does not permit him to be here that week. We hope you will welcome him into our community. The AGM will also cover how Circle of Care is moving forward to provide you with more extensive services.

While we would love to see you in person, feel free to attend the AGM via Zoom. The AGM will be held at the following link: bit.ly/3lHF30V.

Our wine/chocolate pairing and silent auction fundraiser will be held on Saturday, April 22, from 6:30 to 9 p.m., at the Trinity Church community hall. April 22 is Earth Day and we will be serenaded by and singing along with Savilla Kress to the music of the 1970s, to celebrate the first Earth Day, which took place in 1970.

The silent auction will feature a wide range of services from merchants both in Point Roberts and in the lower Mainland of B.C. Join the fun, enjoy the wines and chocolates from Washington State, and bid on the perfect service for yourself or for someone else. Tickets are $15 per person or $25 per couple. Tickets are available by contacting us at prcircleofcare@gmail.com or 360/945-5222.
