| In May 2007, MURA and
McMaster University signed an agreement to establish an Awards Endowment Fund
which will provide on going funding for the two awards in Gerontology currently supported
by the Association. |
| The original goal of $32,000 was met by the fall of 2009, with the
total reaching $40,000 by summer 2010.
Donations from MURA members and friends are welcome and encouraged on
a continuing basis. Extra funding will enable MURA to increase the
value of our annual scholarship to one full-time Gerontology student
and prize to one part-time Gerontology student. |
| Contributions to the Fund are tax deductible. |
Send your donations, payable to McMaster University, noting "MURA Awards"
in the MEMO space on the cheque. |

| M.U.R.A. Donates a Transport Wheelchair to Campus Health Services
Many years ago, M.U.R.A. donated a transport wheelchair to Student Health Services, now known as the Campus Health Centre. Recently ithe wheelchair broke and for a very modest cost M.U.R.A replaced it with a new one! |
TO M.U.R.A.--- a THANK YOU NOTE!
On behalf of the
Campus Health Centre, I would like to thank the McMaster University
Retirees Association for the gift of a wheelchair. The chair is
comfortable to sit in and incredible easy to manoeuver. We love it.
....
Again, thank you very much for the gift and your interest in helping students and staff.
