A BIG THANK YOU to all those who donated purses, product and money to our September fundraiser! These will be going to support women at Madison House of the Siloam Mission, 1JustCity, RAY- Resource Assistance for Youth, Sunshine House resource centre, and the young Mom's program at Rossbrook House. Today at the Scandinavian Cultural Centre in Winnipeg three members of Jon Sigurdsson Chapter sorted the purses and products which were collected to distribute to the 5 social agencies supporting women. As $500 was also collected, each agency will receive $100 to supplement the collected products.

On September 25, 2020 Jon Sigurdsson Chapter member Alice Mark turned 100 years old. We congratulate her on this significant birthday! The photo was taken in November as she celebrated another member's 100th year!

Bridge and Whist Fundraiser 2016 for Jon Sigurdsson Chapter.

The Jon Sigurdsson Chapter has been busy collecting slightly used purses for various women's shelters, new mothers and refugees. We are also filling them with new products such as tissues, makeup, toothpaste, soap, etc.

It is with sadness that the Jon Sigurdsson Chapter announces the death of one of our former members, Kathleen Thorsteinson. Kathleen helped with our Bridge and Whist luncheons over the years. She had a great sense of humour and creative ideas for fundraising...coming up with ideas how each member could raise $100 through a variety of activities to support our 100th anniversary goal of $10,000 for the Children's Rehab Centre. We have included a photo of Kathleen and her obituary as it was posted on Neil Bardal Inc website. Our condolences to the family.
