A SPECIAL REQUEST TO EVERYONE - PLEASE HELP!

Ron, one of our Canadian Veterans, needs our support badly. He retired from the Royal Canadian Navy in 1982 with over 29 years’ service. In 1987 he was invited to re-enroll, but a serious shortcoming in the Canadian Forces Superannuation Act (CFSA), about which he was not warned, resulted in a shortfall in his pension of $10,000 per year compared to others with similar service. The problem with the CFSA was corrected by Parliament, effective March 1, 2007, but applies to only retired personnel who return to the Regular Force after that date. At age 71 Ron is fighting Stage IV colon cancer and is concerned for the financial well being of his surviving spouse. As the problem has been acknowledged and corrected, it seems only fair that Ron should now receive his rightful pension.
A petition has been created HERE for anyone wishing to help right this injustice. Thank you for your assistance.

THE DREAMCATCHER LEGEND

Made from a long strand which is woven into an intricate web, the Dreamcatcher allows good dreams to flow through to the one who sleeps, while the bad dreams are tangled helplessly in the web, and perish at dawn.

My Dreamcatchers are well-made and heavily beaded, with a mixture of semi-precious gemstones, craft beads, and feathers. I use a thin, strong, nylon-coated cable or heavy beading thread for the web, and a complementing colored leather to cover the 4" ring. The total length from the top of the ring to the bottom of the Gemstone beads is about 8" to 9". You may hang them beside your bed or window, or they are an ideal size to hang on the rear-view mirror in your car. Examples of gemstone combinations follow, or you may request your own combination and colours:
