MES Newsletter – January 2012

Please note that the MES membership year runs from September 1 to August 31. Your $10 dues demonstrate your support for the MES and encourage us to continue serving the local Estonian community. If you are not sure whether or not you have paid your current membership fee, please contact Kersti at: kleetmaa@sympatico.ca

In the spring of 2010, the MES was incorporated as a non-profit organization in Quebec. As a consequence, the MES can now provide Quebec provincial income tax receipts to anyone who would like to make a donation in support of the MES and its activities.

Your donation will be used 100% to help cover the costs of cultural and social activities that support the Estonian community in Montreal. Please give generously.

MES Sõnumid – Jaanuar 2012

 

 

 

Kuna meie tegevusaasta kulgeb 1. septembrist kuni 31. augustini, on aastane liikmemaks, $10, maksmisele kuuluv. See tagab teie toetuse MES-i heaks ning tiivustab ka meie püsivat koostööd kohaliku eesti ühiskonnaga. Liikmeks saamise vormulaari saab internetist: www.mtlmes.ca. Vormulaarid on saadaval Jaani kiriku saalis ja ka Kersti Leetmaa käest, tel. (514) 695-4194.

Kevadel 2010 sai MES tunnustatud kui kasumit mitte aktsepteeriv organisatsioon Quebecis. Järelikult me saame nüüd anda isikule, kes soovib toetada MES-i tegevust, vastava tulumaksu kviitungi.

Teie annetus läheb täies ulatuses Montreali eestlaskonna kultuuriliste ja seltskondlike ürituste kulude katteks. Olge palun helde käega.
