Dear CDS Members,
The CDS has been diligently working on compiling records of the $1,000.00 one-time initiation fee (“Initiation Fee”) collected since the organization’s inception. As you may know, the Initiation Fee (with paid membership dues) entitles a member to run for the election to Board of Directors (among other conditions) and the right to a free burial plot, purchased by the CDS, at the cemeteries assigned by the Board to a deceased member, spouse, or dependents aged 17 years and under.
We are pleased to inform you that a comprehensive list has now been created for ease of reference.
The list was compiled with the assistance of a committee previously created by the former board (comprised of Mr. Walid El Awar, Sheikh Mohammad Abou Hamdan, Dr. Bachir Aboulhosn, Mr. Akram Abou Charaf, and Mr. Amin Younes) and coordinated by Enas Younis and the current board. A thorough review was conducted of the paper records and other information that was available, to compile a list of community members who have paid the CDS Initiation Fee.
If you believe that you have paid the Initiation Fee and would like to verify your payment, please feel free to reach out by email to toronto@druze.net (mailto:toronto@druze.net) and a confirmation will be provided. Please provide your full name, address, and phone number.
If your name is not on the list and you believe you have paid the Initiation Fee, please provide any information and/or receipts you have to support your payment. This will be taken into consideration, and the list may be adjusted.
If you would like to pay the Initiation Fee to receive these benefits, please send payment by e-Transfer to CDS@rogers.com (mailto:CDS@rogers.com) . This Initiation Fee is tax deductible and a receipt will be provided.
Thank you for your continued generosity and support.
Yours
