### Letter
Scouts Canada, Greater Victoria Area, is an organization of 1500 youth and adults serving all communities south of the Malahat. We have scheduled our 2016 Apple Day fund-raising drive for Saturday, October 1 between 9 AM and 4 PM. The drive consists of several strategically placed sites in every municipality, each with a small number of youth and adult members at the site seeking donations to further Scouting's programs.

Passers-by are asked to support Scouting and are thanked with an apple, a tag and smile. The funds that we raise go directly to Scouting's youth programs and to Camp Barnard in Sooke, a facility which is enjoyed by members of Scouting and many other local youth groups.

Merchants and property owners affected by this fundraiser are contacted for their support prior to this event. If you have questions or concerns regarding this event, please contact Apple Day Coordinator Grace Seabrook at appleday@victoriascouts.ca or 250 592 5747.

Scout Apple Day has consistently raised over $20, 000 annually, all of which has gone directly into programs that support our young citizens in their growth and development.

We hope that your office and municipality will once again permit our presence on your streets for this important fundraiser.
