Dear Colleague:
This communication is written asking you to consider sending a donation to the RRTA Scholarship Trust Fund. All contributions to the RRTA Scholarship Trust Fund are eligible for income tax deductions, so please give generously.
Like many other charities, the donations to the RRTA Scholarship Trust Fund were down from previous years, but thanks to the monies received from the Jean Myron estate, the Directors were able to continue to award 30 scholarships for the “Class of 2019” in each of the ten Richmond secondary schools. Every school received two scholarships of $2000.00 each in the name of Jean Myron and one award of $1000.00 as either a Richmond Retired Teachers’ Association Scholarship or as the Louise Campbell Scholarship. The Directors hope that contributions can return to their previous levels so that the $1000.00 awarded in the name of the Richmond Retired Teachers’ Association can continue to be presented to all ten schools.
The costs of post-secondary education continue to increase each year and the scholarship monies are greatly appreciated by the recipients as they continue their studies and their journey to achieve their goals. It is due to the generosity of the retired teachers of School District 38 (Richmond) that the Foundation can continue to grant these scholarships.
A donation form is at the end of this post.
Please make cheques payable to: RRTA Scholarship Trust Fund
Please mail your donations to:
