Donation from William A. Meyer
We are thrilled to acknowledge a substantial donation from William A. Meyer in memory of his late wife, Myrna Symons, RN. William indicated that Myrna was constantly making donations to a wide variety of worthy causes and would be pleased with his generosity to the Samaritan Club of Calgary.
William is a long time Albertan who started and operated a successful company who invented and manufactured specialized drilling tools for the oil & gas industry.
The donation will be used to support our core programs of Family Assistance, Special Projects and Layettes. The numbers of Calgarians in need has significantly increased over the past few years and our objective of assisting as many Calgarians as possible will be better met with this wonderful gift.
