I’d better make this a quick one folks; otherwise it will become Day 25 bordering on Day 26. We have had very positive feedback concerning the art auction proposal as well as an increasing number of very enthusiastic volunteers willing to help make this event a great success. Katherine and Elliot have already started working hard on this auction and we have people willing to help us out with marketing. And someone is working on find us a band. Very exciting .

Elliot is also working on organizing our second volunteer meetings next week so that we can all share ideas and plan for the big event. It will be amazing to meet everyone we saw last time, as well as everyone who could not make it, in addition to our new volunteers who joined us after our first meeting! The get-together will probably be on Wednesday or Thursday, so mark your agendas and stay tuned for time and location confirmation.

There is also some very exciting news regarding aids being shipped to Haiti (Thank you Rox for sending the story). Canada is to send 1200 units of Earthquake-resistant and Hurricane-resistant shelters to Haiti. These shelters are expected to be used as daycare centres and schools and are a more durable and therefore economic alternative to tents.

And lastly, we have two new services posted on our services page. Rick Shea’s photography bio includes a link to samples of his work. We also have Jana’s web design and web application service bio up and running now. You may notice we need to scroll down more and more to see all the amazing services our volunteers are now offering.
