A Message from Our President
|
Welcome to IODE Laurentian – a Chapter of approximately 50 women, all with the common goal of helping others and having some fun in the process! It is a huge pleasure and a privilege to take on the role of President. I follow in the footsteps of the fine women who have preceded me. Our 2023-24 season is now underway, marking our 118th year since our founding in New Edinburgh by Lady Sybil Grey. Our members are already hard at work on the six fund-raiser events planned throughout the year. Our Every Member Counts Campaign, in support of the Ottawa Food Bank, is underway until the end of March. Appropriately, our next event will be a Lady Grey Afternoon Tea and Silent Auction on Sunday, April 29th at Christ Church Cathedral. Laurentian Chapter remains focused on supporting Youth at Risk: as individuals, as family members or within the |
community at large. Interval House Women’s Shelter is the chosen recipient for this event.
After the blockbuster success of IODE Laurentian New Edinburgh StreetFest last Fall, on September 9th, we will be joining forces with the Scottish Society of Ottawa to bring you another day of music, history, and a mini-house tour.
The following weekend, September 16th, plan a return to New Edinburgh to find us at our Treasures and Bake Sale tables at MacKay United Church, 39 Dufferin Rd.
In November, we look forward to another Benefit Night in partnership with the Linden House Theatre Company.
