The holiday season is a
great time to volunteer and reach out and help those in need. There are many
community organizations in Newmarket and Aurora that need
volunteers to prepare and serve holiday meals, collect and wrap gifts, visit
the sick or elderly or just spread some holiday cheer. If you'd like to help,
here are some ideas:

Neighbourhood Network recently hosted its first workshop for charities and non profit organizations entitled "How to Write a Winning Proposal." The workshop was a success with much learned and many positive comments from the organizations who attended.
What are some ideas and interest for future workshops?
