On kinsmen_donation_oct_2011_web.jpgOctober 19th, 2011 Reach Child and Youth Development Society received a $1,000 donation from The Kinsmen Club of Ladner/Tsawwassen towards their Therapies program. The cheque was presented to Reach Executive Director Renie D'Aquila by Ladner Tsawwassen Kinsmen Club President John Wyatt (right) and Past President Dave MacMillan.

At the end of March there were 105 Delta children on the waitlist to receive speech, occupational and physiotherapy services. “This funding from the Kinsmen Club is so important to Reach and the families we support” states Renie D’Aquila, Executive Director, “It allows us to intervene early in more children’s lives.  By doing this we provide the greatest long term benefit to the child, the family and society as a whole.”
