I hope that everyone's summers were fantastic and relaxing! Welcome back (or just welcome!) to everyone, veterans or rookies alike! As I am sure you have noticed, due to come technical difficulties (or lack of access to our old website) we have come up with a new idea - this blog! Using this technology we can do live sign-ups, even if you cant make meetings, post meeting minutes, make comments if we ask for opinions, or just make a smart-ass comments on my likely spelling errors.
We have quite the year planned for the club, its going to be very buzy. We came up with "Equal Opportunity" as a theme for the year. I thought that I would give everyone a little update as to our plans, meeting dates and locations, events, and volunteering opportunities that the exec has planned. As per normal we love suggestions, ideas, and any comments, but here are the tentative plans:
Volunteering:
- The third Saturday of every month we will volunteer at the Montclair Senior's residence at 1:30-3:30
- About every three to four weeks we will volunteer at the Old Brewery Mission homeless shelter. We meet at 3:45 at the roddick gates or 4:30 at the mission. Dates for this semester are listed at the end of the post.
- Mentoring at Tyndale Community Centre: the Dare-to-Dream Program (Year long committment).
- fundraising competition in march
