Garage Sale Report 2011<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Magdalene</strong> Church held two successful garage sales this past year. Our Spring sale netted $4529.42<br />
profit and Fall sale $5022.44 for a grand total of $9551.86. Expenses of the garage sale consist of markers,<br />
masking tape and ads placed in the Free Press and Winnipeg Sun. The internet has opened us up to a whole<br />
new clientele with free ads being placed on various sites such as kijjii.<br />
Set up and sorting during the week of both sales ran efficiently with our large number of volunteers. Again<br />
this year Waka Whitecloud and his friends were able to provide an invaluable service of help with clean up.<br />
These young men arrive promptly and do all the heavy lifting such as loading trucks and putting tables away.<br />
For this they are given an honorarium.<br />
Friday evening meals were provided this year by the generosity of Norma Edwards, spring sale and Bill<br />
Regehr, fall sale.<br />
We continue to deliver leftover items of the garage sale to Value Village due to proximity and the willingness<br />
of them to take all items. We have reviewed other methods of removal with no results so far.<br />
One concern over these years’ sales is the amount of broken and outdated electronics/televisions being<br />
donated. We have requested that people do not donate these items as the church has to take them to<br />
electronic waste depots. In the near future there will be an added cost to dispose of these items.<br />
Following Changes will be made to garage sales in 2012<br />
1. Hours of Sale Friday 9am-7pm, Saturday 9am-12noon<br />
2. In order to reduce electronic waste we will provide a list of unacceptable items to all parishioners and<br />
groups who use the church.<br />
3. Guides and Scouts will be asked to assist in clean up well in advance of sale.<br />
At this time we would like to request the following dates, April 27 th /28 th be reviewed and approved for the<br />

Primate’s World Relief & Development Fund Report 2011<br />
Information from the National PWRDF Annual General Meeting and the Forum of the Diocesan Reps held<br />
in Toronto November 2011 as reported by Susan Roe-Finlay, Rupert’s Land Diocesan Representative.<br />
Some of the plans about a way forward include:<br />
PWRDF continuing to do what it does best: Humanitarian response; and sustainable community development.<br />
Further, to achieve these goals the staff recognized there needs to be a continued engagement of Canadian<br />
Anglicans and financial sustainability.<br />
<strong>St</strong>aff members hope to have a presence in each Diocese in order to get to know the people in these areas. In<br />
Manitoba, we have been blessed with a visit by Adele Finney, the Executive Director, in the past year. As<br />
always, such a visit brings together the Parish partners and energizes them. We are able to ask our own<br />
questions and get immediate responses and to learn from each other.<br />
At the Forum, we learned more about the Anglican Alliance from Sally Keeble who heads this organization,<br />
which works out of UK. The Alliance was formed at the last Lambeth meeting to join together the outreach<br />
