Community Involvement
Community Involvement
Growing up as a young girl, my family was not wealthy. Yet, my siblings and I were taught about the importance of family, to be thankful for what we had, and to share with those who were less fortunate. Over the years, I have never lost sight of where I came from, and that success must be earned. These values which I learned as a child are an integral part of who I am today.
Having said that, I am very grateful to the members of this community who have supported me in the establishment of my own law practise. To show my appreciation, I believe it is my responsibility to give back by investing in my community. In addition to monetary donations, I am committed to volunteering my time, being actively involved in fund-raising & community events and participating in local projects. Service to my community is a priority.
The following are some examples of my community involvement:
- Monetary Donation to Community Living
- Donations to the Helping Hand Food Bank
- Monetary & other Donations to the Salvation Army
- Monetary Donation to Heart & Stroke Foundation
- Donation of door prize to Spring Expo 2015
- Volunteer for Heart & Stroke's "Great Soup Kitchen"
- Volunteer Tutor for the Adult Literacy Program, Tillsonburg Multi-Service Centre
- Founding Member of
"100 Women Who Care Oxford" - Participant in "Choose Kindness Day"

Are you someone who is interested in giving back to our community but you don't have a lot of time to do volunteer work?
In 2015, I started a new chapter of 100 Women Who Care in Oxford County in order to give back to my community!
What is this Organization?
- There are 4 – one hour meetings each year (last Wednesday in February, May, August & November)
- To become a member, you are required to sign a Commitment Form agreeing to donate $100 per meeting—4 times a year—whether or not you attend the meeting
- One week before the meeting, members submit their Charity Nomination Forms
- At each meeting, 3 members will make a 5 minute presentation about their charity
- After the presentations, all members will vote by secret ballot
- The charity receiving the most votes will receive all of the donations
eg. 100 members x $100 = $10,000
to benefit local programs!!! - The charity agrees that the funds will remain in Oxford County and that the money will not be used for administrative costs
- Income tax receipts will be distributed at the next meeting, directly from the charity
By pooling our individual donations,
our group has the ability to make a greater financial impact upon many charities in Oxford County.Upcoming Meeting
