Well it happened. After a 3 month internship it's finished, done, kaput, that's all. And what do I have to show for it? Nothing...but a brand new career opportunity! I tried to be sly, did it work? : )
After the completetion of Day of Caring (which was a huge success by the way!), United Way offered my a full time position as the Campaign Manager of Communications & Special Events. I am so excited to have this opportunity, i don't even know what to do with it! But with all the additional projects and workload i haven't had a chance to share the news, so that's my excuse for slacking.
Now to play catch up!
Day of Caring:Day of Caring went off without a hitch as we oversaw 14 local companies release teams of employees to participate. With the help of title sponsors HYDRO ONE & CINTAS and all other sponsors (Canadian Tire, A&P, Weston bakeries, No Frills, Home Hardware, Tim Hortons, QVSS, Bell, Amer Sports, Reids Dairy, Home Depot, Nestle and P&G) 17 projects were completed at 14 agencies throughout Hastings & Prince Edward Counties.
Thank you to EVERYONE who made this day possible including our committee members: Alyssa Robb from Hydro One, Jennifer Broek from Cintas and Scott Ward from P&G and all companies who participated and helped complete projects in our community:
Community Living Prince Edward, RBC, Stream Global Services, GH Manufacturing, Kellogg, O'Flynn Weese, Airborne Systems, Community Care Access Centre, CN, Hydro One, Cintas, Reids Dairy, Home Depot, Nestle and P&G.

Waterfront Festival:This year United Way had the priviledge to gain support at the 2009 Waterfront Festival with all proceeds from Extreme Rush Adventure rockwall being donated back to us. Thank you to the whole crew at Extreme Rush for donating an entire rock wall and a banner to United Way. Please visit them at http://www.extremerush.ca/ for all your personal training and rockwall needs!
A big thank you also goes out to all our volunteers for the event!
