The Battle River Community Foundation recently awarded $3,550 in grants to The Open Doors Association.

The grants are from income earned by the The Open Doors Association Fund, the Laverna Grandfield Fund, the Dwight and Bonnie Maurer Fund and the Larry and Margaret Rathnavalu Fund, which are designated funds established to support the The Open Doors Association.

Income from the Doug and Anne Burkard Family Fund, a donor advised fund which allows the donor to recommend annual grants recipients, was also granted to the Association.

“The Open Doors is grateful to the community for showing their continuous support of our Integrated Youth Hub,” remarked The Open Doors regional director Morgan Shott. “The generous donations we receive have had such a positive impact on the lives of at-risk youth in Camrose.”

Generous donations, such as those provided by Battle River Community Foundation, have allowed The Open Doors to provide shelter, food, hope and additional support services that may not have otherwise been accomplished without donor assistance.

“By providing wraparound services, we are able to walk alongside people and give them a hand up–rather than just a handout,” said Shott. “Your time, financial contributions and compassion truly make a difference and are incredibly appreciated.”

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $8,216,000 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.

THANKSGIVING EDITION

A woman got a pet parrot, but she was horri ed to discover that all it did was say mean things and insult her. Nothing she did would stop it. She was especially worried because her whole family was coming over for Thanksgiving dinner.

But when the dinner nally came, the parrot didn’t say a word the entire time.

After the meal, the parrot turned to it’s owner and said, “Please forgive my behaviour from before. I was entirely out of line. ”

“Wow,” the woman said. “Glad to hear it. ”

“If I may ask,” said the parrot, “What on earth did that turkey say to you?”

Thanksgiving Tips: • Don’t bother cleaning the cobwebs and dust in your house – just tell your company that you are decorating early for Halloween this year. • Never eat any food o ered to you by an adorable toddler relative. It might look like a cookie or a pickle, but it’s actually the u. • Keep pumpkin pie from drying out by eating it all in one sitting. • Be sure to bring up politics at Thanksgiving this year – you’ll save on Christmas gifts. • Compliment the host on their baseboards. That is what they’ve spent this week cleaning. • If your kids have come home for Thanksgiving and are occupying all the toilets in your house and you are waiting for one to be free, just switch o the Wi-Fi. Thanksgiving is the day you forget about all the ghting and division in the world and just focus on all the ghting and division in your family. I’m not sure if I’m thankful for family, or thankful for all the food they brought over. Thanksgiving with kids: Mom: “What do you want to eat? We’ve got sweet potatoes, wild rice with mushrooms, cranberry almond stu ng, cornbread, cranberry sauce, roasted asparagus, potatoes and gravy and turkey!” Kid: “Grilled cheese.” Thanksgiving is the only holiday where you eat the mascot. My family told me to stop telling Thanksgiving jokes, but I told them I couldn’t just quit “cold turkey”. A potato and a sweet potato were playing on the playground. The sweet potato told the potato, “Hey, I just found out I’m related to you.” The potato said, “No, you’re not!” and the sweet potato replied, “Yes, I yam.” Thanksgiving is the day men start getting in shape … to play Santa Claus. Thanksgiving is a time to count your blessings, one by one, as each relative goes home. You can tell you ate too much for thanksgiving when you have to let your bathrobe out. Happy Thanksgiving! Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has to do the dishes.

Ultimate Turkey Recipe

Here’s a killer turkey recipe, with a foolproof self-timer. It’s impossible to mess this up. You’ll get a perfectly cooked turkey every time.

Preheat the oven to 325. Prepare the turkey, basting it with salt, garlic, butter, and black pepper. In a bowl, combine equal parts stu ng mix and popcorn. (Yes, popcorn.)

Fill the turkey’s cavity with the mixture. Lay the turkey in a greased roasting pan. Insert the turkey into the oven, with the neck pointing inward. (This is very important.)

Do not concern yourself with roasting time. When the turkey’s rear end blows the door o the oven, it’s done.
