Giving Back

I have not blogged in far too long so I'm going to play a little catch up. I am happy to say that the golf tournament was a huge success and we were able to raise enough money for CHHA - Hamilton to purchase some much needed AV equipment and to help offset the cost of hiring someone to provide captioning at our meetings. It was definitely a bit stressful to put the tournament together but I was glad to see a positive ROI.

I'm also happy to say that I've been asked to temporarily join the CHHA - Hamilton board of directors for the remainder of 2010. On the downside, it's unfortunate that I am filling in for someone who has had to take a leave due to some surgery; however, on the plus side I'm very excited to be a more active participant in this group. I already see numerous ways that I can help immediately. As well, they have made it clear that it is their intention to nominate me for the board in 2011 so I am taking this as a learning curve for what to expect going into next year. The more I get involved with CHHA - Hamilton the more I see it's potential. There are a number of passionate people in this group who really want to make a difference and that inspires me so much!
