ВЗАИМОПОМОЩ

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Dear fellow Bulgarians,

We are currently involved in a major fund-raising campaign, which would allow the Bulgarian Community in Montreal the unique opportunity to purchase the building on 1191 Sauvé East, and establish it as a permanent place for worship of the first Bulgarian Church in Quebec, St. Ivan Rilski!

Along with a number of prominent Montrealers of Bulgarian origin, since 2002 my family has invested a lot of time and energy in keeping the dream of a Bulgarian Church in Montreal alive by helping found and then actively support the St. Ivan Rilski Church. And now the time has come to bring our efforts to fruition by securing the down-payment for the building (200 000 CAD) by December 15, 2009.

Maya and I have pledged 2 000 CAD and have further committed ourselves to raising another 25 000 CAD, which we would be unable to achieve without your precious support! We hence kindly ask you to please help this noble cause with whatever you can afford!

You could make your donations on-line by visiting the church site at http://www.stivanrilski.org, and following the "make a donation" link. Please note that the Bulgarian Church St. Ivan Rilski is a registered non-profit organization and issues tax receipts for all donations over 20 CAD.

Every dollar is appreciated and we thank you very much in advance! God bless!

Yours with gratitude:
Maya and Dimitri
