Fundraising

PLEASE think about these “CASH CARDS” by Vista that are sold every week at Tansley. They do not cost you any more than the card amount and Tansley gets a percentage back from every card that is sold.

GARDEN CENTRES HELPING US GROW!!!!

Connon Nurseries at 383 Dundas St. (HWY 5) Waterdown is donating 10% of all purchases any member of Tansley makes between now and June 16. All you have to do is mention the name "Tansley United Church" at the check out register to make sure 10% of your purchase will be donated back to the church.
How great is that!

Holland Park at 2243 Fairview is also offering a program called Grow for the Green which will donate 3% of all purchases made by any Tansley member. All you have to do is mention the name "Tansley United Church" and also know our phone number 905-335-0090 so write it down and put it in your wallet or on your phone so we can benefit from this program as well.

Tansley United Church is registered with both of these Garden Centres. A chance to beautify and grow your gardens and help fund and grow the wonderful programs of Tansley!

RECYCLE YOUR ELECTRONICS EVENT A SMASHING SUCCESS!!!
Click here for Photos of the Event
A huge thank you to all of the participants in our Recycle Your Electronics Event held on Sat March 31. We had over 500 cars drive through loaded with TVs, computers, stereos, VCRs etc. We carried hundreds of items through the cold of the morning and then thank goodness the sun in the afternoon filling four 40'  walk in bins and needing an emergency delivery of two more 30' bins before the day was done. With 6 huge bins filled to the top we finally stopped at 2pm exhausted but very happy.

Our helpers ranged from 6 yrs old to 50plus congregational members including teens from our congregation and friends from a local hockey team who pitched in. Thank you so much to our sluggers for your strong muscles with the lifting and piling we could not have done it without you. Many thanks to the guys directing traffic with your logistics expertise. Thank you to our 3 cheerleaders who pulled cars in off Walkers Line. Thanks to the people who brought us cookies, muffins, sandwiches, pop and juice to keep us going.  Thank you to all of you who put signs on your lawn, delivered and put up our flyers, emailed the ads to your friends and told your co-workers. The aggressive advertising worked. Thank you to the Burlington Post, SNAP magazine for news coverage and the Mayor who made a special stop to cheer us on. Finally thank you to the Ontario Electronic Stewardship Team for providing us with this opportunity and their support of this project and those of you who took the time to drop off your own old electronics and be eco-friendly.

We successfully diverted tons of waste from the local landfill site and made many households in Burlington very happy to help with the Earth Friendly Initiative. It is a wonderful kick off to Earth day programs which will be happening in our city over the next few weeks.

This is a fundraising initiative as well and we will keep you posted as to how much we have raised. The monies will be well spent to run our church and give back to the community through our programs, outreach and good works within our Burlington Community.

Well done Tansley!!!!!!

Sincerely, Jodi Harrison, Dave Peacock, Janice Hatt and Evan McDade.
