So now that we've set up the website and all the details have been hammered out in terms of how to donate, our next step is to reach out to Mrs. Neuls' family, friends, colleagues, and former students.
We have approximately 1 year to raise the $2300 CDN so that a scholarship in Mrs. Neuls' name can be established forever at the Calgary Kiwanis Music Festival for the duet category (a category that Mrs. Neuls donated to for years and years). While 1 year is not a short amount of time, we would certainly like to reach as many as we can sooner than later so we can beat the deadline well in advance.
April and I are extremely fortunate to have gotten on board the enthusiastic help of two of Mrs. Neuls' good friends in Calgary, Linda and Carol, who have been trying to get in contact with other former students of Mrs. Neuls. Some people have written some heartfelt messages in the guestbooks either at the Calgary Herald Obituaries or at the funeral home obituary page; I wish I could get in touch with them, but have no way to do so. Do you know other former students / friends / colleagues / family of Mrs. Neuls? I hope you will tell them about our donation coordination effort and direct them to this website.
For the technologically inclined, there are some easy sharing buttons at the bottom of each of these updates, as well as at the bottom of each page. Do you use twitter, Facebook, or Google Plus? You can easily post about our site to your social media with just a few clicks and possibly reach out to more people who knew and loved Mrs. Neuls and might wish to donate in her name.
Again, thank you so much for your time.
