TLC JEANS DAY Jan 12- SUPPORT THE LENDING CUPBOARD

Happy New Years from everyone here at The Lending Cupboard!
Will you take up the challenge put out by our Board Member Maurenn McMurtrie? “I am a Small Business Advisor with Servus Credit Union and a Board Member of The Lending Cupboard Society here in Red Deer and we are issuing a Corporate Challenge to all the Financial Institutions in Red Deer. Servus Credit Union has established a “Jeans Day” on January 12, 2018 in support of The Lending Cupboard wherein we are allowing employees to wear jeans for $5.00 to be donated to The Lending Cupboard Society. We are challenging all the other banks and financial institutions and corporations in Central Alberta to consider adopting the same and raising funds as well.”
Help us spread the word and share this out with as many in your network as you can!
