CN Gives Back

This beautiful shot, taken by Locomotive Engineer Kieth Biernacki, is the featured photo for December, 2012 in the CN calendar.

Canadian National Railway gave the maximum grant available to employees and their spouses to the Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association. CN authorized $ 1,250 dollars for the volunteer work of Charlie and Brenda London.

CN took note of the hundreds of hours Charlie puts into FSJNAdotORG as well as the neighborhood Facebook and Twitter pages. Charlie also sends out subscription-only (no cost for subscribers) emails from Charlie’s Neighborhood News and patjolly.com. Both sites provide information on community events. Charlie also provides free promotional services to several neighborhood non-profits whose missions are to improve or preserve the quality of life for all residents in our area.

CN was impressed with Brenda’s contribution to the many outreach events in the neighborhood as well as her four years as the previous Treasurer of the Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association.

Many thanks to CN for their generous donation of $ 1,250 to the Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association. CN donates millions each year to many worthy causes all over North America!
