combivied to organize many events to celebrate our achievements in improving
access for all and highlight those changes still to be made,

Our pians and enthusiasm are unlimited but in order to reach our goals we will
have to rely on the Benerosity of the organizations in our community. We are
hoping that your Council will provide financial support so that we may
adequately represent our communities and enhance our areas reputation of concern

40 self help organizations.

Presentations to our Junior and Senior Secondary school students
