A bursary to help finance an experience that will enrich the life of a child has been established by the Athens UCW in honour of a beloved congregant who died in 2022. This bursary is open to all children and is applicable for a wide variety of activities. The child has been selected for 2022 and this person will be enjoying an opportunity to go to camp for a week. If you are interested in nominating a child for 2023 please phone the church office at (613-924-2175). We will be considering applicants for 2023 in November, 2022.
