Volunteer opportunities for the holiday season

Hi folks,

I think this will be my last post of the year. Things are getting crazy, and will only continue to get crazier for the next three months or so. But it’s a good note to go out on.

The Chebucto Connections Timebank has sent around some volunteer opportunities if you are staying in town over the holidays. Have a good one, everybody.
