We have come up with a fun and colourful way for you to help support  
NKLCSS as we embark on another year without adequate funding from our  
Provincial Government.

NKLCSS provides free counseling services to men, women and children  
throughout Area D and Kaslo, as well as providing a wide range of  
programs for the under six set offered at the Family Centre in Kaslo  
and at the Lardeau Valley Community Centre in Meadow Creek.

The "Have a Heart" campaign is a heart-felt initiative which gives  
back to everyone who buys a heart ~ let me explain: we have 100 wooden  
hearts that have been cut out and primed with grey exterior paint that  
await your artistic touch.  For $20 you can paint a heart (or have one  
of our volunteers paint it for you) and have it put up on the  
Community Garden fence both as a testament to your support,  and to help  
prevent the dear from jumping in to the metal mesh -- plus you'll receive a tax  
receipt for your efforts.

Watch for our “Have a Heart” table at the Saturday Market between now  
and Saturday, September 20th.  We thank you in advance for your support
